Monday, January 27, 2025 The Khaptad Badimalika Global Development Institute (KBGDI) has partnered with Learn Tourism, a renowned international nonprofit that promotes sustainable tourism through educational initiatives. Together, they have established a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at revitalizing the tourism landscape in Nepal’s Khaptad and Badimalika regions. This alliance will focus on community empowerment, environmental preservation, and setting a benchmark for sustainable and inclusive tourism.
Educational Initiatives and Community Empowerment This collaboration will concentrate on enhancing the abilities of local inhabitants, business owners, and tourism leaders in the Khaptad Badimalika regions. Learn Tourism is set to deliver specialized training programs to empower underrepresented communities with essential skills in managing visitors, preserving culture, and implementing sustainable tourism practices. These initiatives are designed to distribute the benefits of tourism growth equitably across all community segments, including women, indigenous groups, and economically disadvantaged individuals.
“This collaboration is a milestone for our communities,” said Bhim Bahadur Khadka , Chairman and Founder of KBGDI. “Through education and strategic development, we aim to create opportunities for everyone—especially those who have historically been excluded—to thrive in a tourism economy that respects and preserves our cultural and natura.
