Dear Members of the Tourist Guide Association of Nepal (TURGAN), it is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I address you today as we embark on a new journey with a refreshed executive committee and a clear vision for the future of our association. TURGAN, as a member-based tourism association, holds a pivotal role in promoting tourism through the provision of quality tourist guide services. With nearly 1000 active members, we stand united in our commitment to showcase the beauty and cultural richness of Nepal to the world. Our members, distinguished by their extensive training from the esteemed government institution NATHM and certification from the Ministry of Tourism, serve as the unofficial ambassadors of our country. The experiences and narratives they share with tourists shape the perception and image of Nepal, making each interaction an opportunity to leave a lasting impression. As we move forward, the new executive committee has diligently outlined a comprehensive agenda for the next three years. This agenda is centered around four key pillars: the welfare of our guides, the enhancement of guiding services, the promotion of tourism on a broader scale, and the cultivation of fair and professional relationships with travel agencies. Together, we will strive to ensure the well-being and prosperity of our members, empowering them with the resources and support they need to excel in their roles. We will continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and excellence in guiding services, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. Furthermore, we are committed to amplifying our efforts in promoting tourism, both domestically and internationally, showcasing the diverse attractions and experiences that Nepal has to offer. By forging strong partnerships with travel agencies, we aim to create mutually beneficial relationships that contribute to the sustainable growth of the tourism industry. In conclusion, I am confident that with our collective dedication and unwavering commitment, we will achieve remarkable success in the years ahead. Let us work hand in hand to elevate the stature of TURGAN and propel Nepal's tourism sector to new heights.
Thank you for your
continued support and dedication.
