Kathmandu, Aug 30
The
government is planning to sign air transport agreement with three countries.
A
high-level management group meeting at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and
Civil Aviation on Sunday decided to push ahead the agreement process with Indonesia,
Finland and Russia.
The
meeting has also decided to coordinate with the airlines companies for not
charging travel fare higher than in the normal situation before the pandemic of
the COVID-19. The airlines operators will be communicated about this through
the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN).
Likewise,
a four-member committee is formed in the leadership of MoCTCA Under-secretary
Ram Krishna Lamichhane to monitor and facilitate the return of Nepalis from
abroad.
Director
of the Nepal Tourism Board Surendra Thapa, Manager of CAAN Hirajan Kafle and Manager
of Nepal Tourism Board Sunil Sharma are the members of the committee.
The
committee will monitor the air fare and air travel, conduct field visit to the
hotels to monitor the quality and provide feedback, coordinate with the
organisations like Hotel Association of Nepal and hear the grievances related
to the repatriation of Nepalis.
Minister
for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Yogesh Bhattarai directed the concerned
agencies to complete the projects and targets set in the annual work plan of
the ministry.
