Expedition Operators Association-Nepal (EOA-Nepal) was established with a sole goal of providing a platform for prolific and reputed expedition operators of Nepalese tourism industry to unite in their efforts to efficiently promote and improve the quality of expeditions in the Himalayan region. EOA-Nepal, a non-profit organization, will provide expedition operators with sound assistance and advice against hazards that plague expeditions not only in Nepal, but also in the neighboring counties; India, Pakistan, and Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Expeditions are part of a dynamic industry that involves individuals from all facets of society and consequently contributes to a huge portion of national annual revenues. By servicing such a dynamic industry in an advisory capacity, EOA-Nepal wishes to develop a sense of equal responsibility and ownership among the members for all aspects related to expeditions. A united front will prove vital in promoting and improving existing expeditions, developing new expeditions, and venturing into new territories; foreign and domestic. Finally, EOA-Nepal wishes to sensitize members into forming a catalytic association that will allow for better expedition operations throughout Nepal, facilitating innovations and improvements. I respectfully commend the continual support of all current members and sincerely welcome future members to join EOA-Nepal’s efforts. Best regards, Dambar Parajuli President
