MORANG: With the announcement of Tourism Year 2082 BS, Koshi Province has ramped up efforts to boost tourism, aiming to attract 1.5 million domestic and international visitors over the year.
Since the campaign’s launch, tourism-related activities have surged across the province’s districts, bringing fresh optimism to local businesses. Hoteliers and tourism entrepreneurs are hopeful that the initiative will help revive the tourism industry to its pre-Covid heights.
