Overview

What This Service Covers

Tourism is not one licence. This routing service identifies the likely route for the actual activity, such as hotel or lodge operations, travel or trekking agencies, adventure activities, casinos or mountaineering-related activity. One business may need more than one route.

The exact services, locations and customer activities should be identified first, because they determine the relevant authority, prerequisites and possible linked routes.

What Our Service Includes

  • A review of the proposed services, locations and customer activities to identify whether more than one tourism route may apply.
  • Coordination of the agreed route only; the relevant licensing authority retains the approval decision.
  • Tourism-route assessment and authority application coordination within the agreed engagement.

Who It Is For

  • Prospective and existing operators needing to identify the correct tourism licence route.
  • Businesses planning a hotel, agency, adventure, casino, mountaineering or another tourism activity with route-specific requirements.
  • Operators preparing activity, premises, staffing or insurance information for a route assessment.

What Is Not Assumed

  • Nepal Tourism Board is not the licensing authority.
  • Fees, timelines and requirements vary by route.
  • Entity registration, premises, staffing, insurance and local permissions must be confirmed against the actual route.
  • One licence does not cover all tourism activities.

KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR TOURISM LICENSING

  • Intended audience: Tourism-business promoters
  • Primary authority or route: Department of Tourism
  • Core route definition: Tourism is not one licence. This routing service identifies the likely route for the actual activity, such as hotel or lodge operations, travel or trekking agencies, adventure activities, casinos or mountaineering-related activity. One business may need more than one route.
  • Main dependency: Number of licences, premises, staffing and authority processes.
