Hotel Industry, a major stake of national economy and considered to have the highest local private sector investment in Nepal with the recorded investment of around Rs. 100 billion is one of the main sectors of Tourism Industry in Nepal. Tourism Industry contributes around 9% of GDP to national economy. From the disaster risk management perspectives, private sector entities have two-fold role in building resilience in their businesses and contributing as a part of corporate social responsibility in enhancing community resilience. In this regard, NSET has signed an MOU with HAN to work for together for the disaster resiliency of hotel industry in Nepal.
