The growth in tourist arrivals was supplemented by an increase of 31.8 percent in Indian visitors and 6.9 percent in non-Indians, the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) said on Thursday, citing figures released by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation.

Business in the tourism sector came mostly from Asian markets in that month. The Bangladesh market continued to show high growth from among the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation countries with 83.4 percent growth, while huge increases were observed from other Asian segments like China and Singapore.
