Award Winners Tourism And Aviation Next 2013

 

Amitabh Kant

Lifetime Achievement in Promotion of Tourism in South Asia (He is the former joint secretary in the tourism ministry from 2001 to 2007 & Chairman of Indian Tourism Development Council)

“It was at the peak of this crisis, the Incredible India campaign to position India as a tourist destination was launched. But Every Crisis is an Opportunity and now tourism in India is a growing market. There is a need to raise Nepal’s service standards, creating premium brand of experiential tourism, positioning of exotic Nepal, adding new international airport, additional terminals and new air-routes, domestic and foreign investments in tourism services etc. Thank you for this award”

Tourism Malaysia

Best Asian Tourism Initiative (Award received by South Asia Director of Tourism Malaysia, Amran Abdul Rahman)

“I am very happy to receive this award. Such event will boost the Nepal tourism industry but we need to focus and plan a well researched module to make Nepal one of the best tourist places in the world. In Malaysia people know Nepal more than India because of its long association and common features in terms of lifestyle. I am sure with such events we will have a strong bonding with Nepal in terms of tourisms.”

Megh Bahadur Ale

Best Eco-friendly Himalayan Tourism Initiative (He is the founder president of Nepal River Conservation Trust)

“This is for the first time I am receiving such award for my contribution towards nature in Nepal. I would like to request the people of Nepal and the government to save our Bagmati. I want more people to participate in the Bagmati River Festival and request them actively involved in raising awareness to conserve and preserve the beautiful Himalayan Rivers of Nepal. I don’t have any word to express myself. I am extremely happy and thanks for the organiser for choosing me for such a prestigious award. I would like to pay my regards to New Business Age for giving me this honour and in future I will continue to dedicate myself in saving the eco system of Nepal. I think youths and school children will play a major role in saving this country from ecological hazards,”
