Happy to report that the 5 year Tourism Development Framework for Ilam Municipality in Eastern Nepal is now completed and adopted. Consistent with the Nepal Tourism Development Strategy, Ilam is poised to become the tourism hub of Easter Nepal, a relatively unspoiled and undiscovered part of the rich Nepal cultural and adventure tourism experience. Thanks to my colleagues at Ilam Municipality for your enthusiastic collaboration and to the Nepal team of the Australian Volunteer Program for ongoing support. This is a region well worth visiting.
