Nepal took part in the 15th Moscow International Travel and Tourism Exhibition (MITT) from March 19 to 22 in Moscow. The participation was facilitated by the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) in co-ordination with the Nepali embassy in Moscow.
MITT is supposed to be the biggest and the most influential travel trade show held in Russia every year and provides an opportunity for obtaining market potential information, hearing opinions of business community and interacting with influential Russian travel trade figures for business tie-ups.
The Nepali travel trade companies were successful in signing up business deals with the Russian travel business community, claimed a press release issued here by NTB on Monday. The Nepali pavilion showcased the country's iconic tourism products and were able to draw the attention of traders, media and public. Around 40,000 visitors visited the pavilion during the exhibition.
With a concentration of wealth and a population of 11 million, Moscow offers a huge potential for the Nepali tourism industry. The Russian tourists are considered one of the world's highest spenders.
