The government of Nepal has finalized and approved the Incentive Rule Book to promote MICE tourism and has already put it into implementation. Global Asia Tours and Travel (P) Ltd, Kathmandu, is the first travel company to bag the cash incentive of Rs 500,000 (Eqv. to US$7500) for promoting MICE tourism. The award was given at the ministry of tourism. This is probably the biggest cash award given to any tourism organization promoting meetings tourism. Global Asia Tours and Travel is a leading tour operator promoting culture, nature, adventure, and MICE tourism in Nepal.
