‘Still a lockdown’: Deadly floods hit Nepal tourism as peak season begins | Floods News | Al Jazeera

Deadly floods in Nepal, killing over 1,450 people and destroying key highways, have severely impacted the country's tourism sector, which accounts for nearly 8% of GDP and employs over one million people. The peak tourist season, which begins after the monsoon ends in August, is now disrupted as many tourists cancel their plans. The disaster was triggered by a glacial mountain collapse along the Nepal-Tibet border, discouraging visitors even in unaffected areas.
