Tourism entrepreneurs who were beginning to feel high last month are feeling low again. The last eight months of the ceasefire saw inbound tourist figures climb. July and August registered a 30 percent growth over arrivals during the same months in 2002. With more than 21,500 tourists in August alone, the travel trade was all set to usher in more tourists during the peak season beginning September. Travel agents say many trekkers and tourist have cancelled after the ceasefire unravelled two weeks ago. Until few days ago, it looked like the autumn season was headed for a boom, said Joy Dewan, president of Nepal Association of Travel Agents. But, the collapse of the ceasefire has dashed our hopes. Trade officials fear the situation could worsen if embassies put an alert notice in their travel advisories.
