Building a sustainable future for Nepal’s hospitality sector!From August 21–24, 2026, key stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and finance gathered for a multi-stakeholder consultation workshop dedicated to greening Nepal’s hospitality standards.
The event kicked off at Hotel Barahi, Kathmandu, and continued with a 3-day technical workshop at Prakriti Resort & Organic Farm, Haibung. Together, we focused on co-creating the national
Green Hospitality Standard Framework and laying down a 4-Year National Transition Roadmap across four core sustainability pillars:
Decarbonization,
Circularity (Waste & Water),
Socio-Economic Impact, and
Governance.
As highlighted in recent coverage by Kantipur, Nepal is taking concrete steps toward integrating sustainability directly into national hotel regulations.
Key Highlights:- Kickoff at Hotel Barahi: Insights into policy innovation, green benchmarks, and success stories from early adopters.
- Technical Sessions & Field Tour: Hands-on baseline assessments and on-site observation of Travelife Gold eco-practices at Prakriti Resort.
- Cross-Sector Commitment: Collaborative action plans involving MoCTCA, DoT, NTB, HAN, NRB, academic institutions, and development partners.
Through the
Roots of CIrcularity (RoC) project, Wildlife Conservation Nepal (WCN) remains dedicated to bridging nature conservation with sustainable hospitality, paving the way to establish Nepal as a leading global eco-tourism destination.
Venue: Hotel Barahi and Prakriti Resort and Organic Farm
