Tourist arrivals in Nepal surpassed the one million mark, despite the temporary shutdown of Tribhuwan International Airport for 10 hours daily in the first week of November for emergency expansion work. This led to a sudden increase in airfare prices, making Nepal one of the more expensive destinations. However, this did not deter tourists from booking trips to Nepal, as the country saw a good number of visitors in November and December. In 2024, Nepal received over 1.1 million tourists, marking a positive turnaround for the tourism sector after being heavily impacted by COVID-19. With the announcement of reduced shutdown hours at TIA from February, there is expected to be an increase in international flights and tourist numbers.
