China Southern Airlines, (NYSE:ZNH) (HKSE:1055) (SHA:600029) -
www.cs-air.com/en - with the largest and most technically advanced
aircraft fleet in The People's Republic of China is planning a major
tourism push to Nepal with its new twice weekly service to the "Roof
of the World."
After several months into its operations in Nepal, China Southern
Airlines is now focusing at promoting Nepal as an attractive tourist
destination among outbound Chinese travelers.
"Although we are still a starter in the Nepali market, the initial
three months have proved that we could market Nepal as an attractive
destination among the Chinese tourists," said Mr. Vincent Zhen,
General Manager of China Southern's Nepal Office.
The airline began its Nepal operations February 5, connecting
Nepali capital Kathmandu with Guangzhou city of China, twice a week on
Mondays and Fridays.
"More than 1,100 Chinese passengers flew by China Southern on the
Guangzhou-Kathmandu route over the past three months. The trend is
encouraging, which is a clear testimony that there still lies a huge
potential to be tapped," said Mr. Zhen.
Although Nepal and China are close neighbors, Nepal's rich
cultural heritage and biodiversity, south face of the majestic
Himalayas and Nepali hospitality are still unknown among many Chinese,
said Zhen, adding that Nepal has not yet been properly promoted in
China.
Mr. Zhen said that the promotion of Nepal in China, the fastest
growing economy in the world, could significantly increase the inflow
of Chinese tourists, benefiting both the tourism industry and the
airline industry.
The largest airline in The People's Republic of China for the past
28 years, China Southern Airlines - www.cs-air.com/en - connects more
than 80 cities around the globe. Major business and vacation
destinations served in China include: Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou,
Guilin, Hong Kong, Kunming, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan and as well
