We are proud to announce a new partnership between Switzerland, the PATA Nepal Chapter and the Kathmandu University School of Management (KUSOM). Together, we have signed an agreement to develop a comprehensive Tourism Crisis Management Handbook tailored for Nepali tourism stakeholders.

This initiative builds on Switzerland’s long-standing commitment to strengthening Nepal’s tourism sector.

They shared insights on navigating global cinema through Swiss partnerships and festivals such as Locarno Film Festival, and offered valuable advice to emerging Nepali filmmakers on collaboration, networking, and financing.

As part of the celebration of 70 years of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Nepal, the Embassy proudly launched the Trail Bridge Book in the presence of former Finance Minister Rameshore Prasad Khanal and Ambassador Markus Leitner, Head of the Asia and Pacific Division at the FDFA.
For over seven decades, Switzerland has been a trusted partner in Nepal’s trail bridge sector—helping build thousands of bridges that connect remote communities, improve access to essential services, and create new opportunities. More than infrastructure, these bridges symbolize connection, resilience, and shared progress.
The launch brought together guests from government, civil society, and the international community, offering a moment to reflect on this impactful partnership and look ahead to continued collaboration.
