Nepal Showcases Tourism Potential at the 34th International Tourism and Travel Show in Canada
Montréal, November 2024 – The Embassy of Nepal in Canada, in collaboration with Everest Pioneer Trek Nepal (P) Ltd., actively participated in the 34th edition of the International Tourism and Travel Show held at Palais des Congrès, Montréal, from November 1 to 3, 2024. The participation was part of Nepal’s ongoing economic diplomacy initiative to boost tourism by promoting the country as a top travel destination.
According to a press release issued by the Nepalese Embassy in Canada, a solo Nepali stall was set up during the three-day event. The booth featured a wide array of tourism promotional materials, including brochures, flyers, documentaries, and visual displays that highlighted Nepal’s diverse tourism offerings—from cultural heritage and trekking adventures to spiritual journeys and nature-based activities.
The Nepali stall attracted a large number of visitors who showed strong interest in learning more about Nepal. Attendees inquired about travel seasons, climate conditions, connectivity options, and whether Nepal offers attractions suited to travelers of all age groups. The high level of engagement indicated strong curiosity and enthusiasm for Nepal’s travel experiences.
The International Tourism and Travel Show, now in its 34th year, is one of the most prominent tourism expos in Quebec, drawing participants from over 100 countries. The event featured a mix of global culinary experiences, cultural performances, destination-focused seminars, and B2B networking sessions, making it a key platform for international tourism promotion.
Shahadev Shrestha, Director of Everest Pioneer Trek Nepal, emphasized the significance of such international events. “This type of exhibition plays an important role in promoting Nepal’s tourism,” he remarked. “We’ve been participating in this travel mart for the last four years, and each year we see growing interest. Many international visitors have taken our brochures and expressed genuine interest in visiting Nepal. Some have even started planning their trips for 2025 and 2026.”
Nepal’s presence at the show served not only to increase visibility among Canadian and international travelers but also to build stronger ties with global tourism stakeholders. With sustained efforts in tourism diplomacy and continued participation in major travel expos, Nepal aims to attract a greater number of international tourists in the coming years.
