NTB CEO Regmi bats for quick COVID-19 tests for tourists



KATHMANDU: Dr. Dhananjay Regmi, Chief Executive Officer at the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) has said that Nepal’s tourism business should be operated with caution adopting safety measures.

Regmi opined that an environment should be created to test the coronavirus at a high-speed keeping in mind that no tourist will come to stay in the quarantine for 14 days.

He said that arrangements should be made to test tourists for the pandemic virus quickly and keep them in the holding center for three days only.

“Tourists should be allowed moving to their desired destinations if they have no symptoms”, he pointed.

Speaking at the inauguration program of Chinese Tour Operators Alliance Nepal, Regmi questioned how will tourists come to visit when they have to stay in quarantine for 14 days and again stay in quarantine after returning.
