Australia’s Ambassador to Nepal, HE Felicity Volk, awarded certificates to female participants of Bird Tourism Skills training, supported by the Australian Embassy. The Embassy funded Bird Conservation Nepal (BCN) to deliver the five-day training program.
Addressing the newly-qualified bird guides at the closing ceremony, Ambassador Volk said, “Once international travel opportunities return, as we find our way through the COVID-19 pandemic, tourists will return to Nepal and the tourism sector will regenerate. Nepal will once again be high on traveller’s lists of places they want to visit. And each of you will be important in making Nepal’s indigenous and migratory birds another attraction for domestic and international tourists to discover.”
