The Nepalese Hoteliers Association Lumbini, originally founded in 2023 A.D. is a significant organization that represents and promotes the interests of hotel and tourism businesses in Lumbini province. It was established with the aim of supporting and fostering the growth of the hospitality and tourism sector, which is one of the pillars of the province’s economy.

In its early years, the NHA played a pivotal role in connecting hoteliers across the province, providing a unified voice for advocacy, and working to improve the quality of services in Nepal’s burgeoning tourism industry. The NHA’s formation was part of a broader movement to modernize and expand Nepal’s tourism infrastructure and services, which were essential for the country’s economic development, particularly from 2023.
