Kathmandu, September 4 :

To attract more Indian tourists, Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) participated in Travel & Tourism Fair (TTF) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat from September 1-3.

The 51st TTF, inaugurated by Shri C D Patel, tourism minister of Gujarat, proved to be a good forum to interact with national and state tourism organisations, travel agencies, tour operators, hotels and resorts, transport operators, travel booking portals and manufacturers of travel products, states a press release issued here by NTB.

Nepali stall was a major attraction amongst the participating exhibitors in the fair showcasing an exciting range of pilgrimage and holiday packages for the Indian tourists. Three Nepali travel trade participants floated various customised lucrative packages during the fair.
