#NepalNOW | Travel Advisories Adapted

Nepal Now, latest news updates

Major Western source markets have adapted their travel advise. While Switzerland and Japan never had a negative travel advise, USA, Finland and Italy recently changed their advise and only provide general precocious warnings. Italian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Benedetto Della Vedova stated “Nepal is safe to visit after earthquake. There has been damage but its not like its unsafe to visit Nepal, and hotels are safe and anyone can visit Nepal”.

UK, Germany, The Netherlands, USA and New Zealand have recently changed the Travel Advisory into a geo specific advice stating not to visit the Earthquake effected regions. Austria, Spain, France, Poland, Sweden and Denmark still remain the same warnings as just after the Earth Quake and advise against any but essential travel.

Mr. Ramesh Kumar Adhikari from the Nepal Tourism Promotion Committee, “we urge these countries to re-evaluate their position in line with other key markets. By that they will comply with the UN-WTO code of conduct for travel advisories, which states that these should be up to date and geo specific.
