The overall slump in tourist arrivals in 2000 has also had an impact in Pokhara, the second major stop for travellers visiting Nepal. Pokhara got 10,000 fewer Indian tourists in 2000 compared to a year ago, when 105,000 visited the city. The Pokhara Tourist Office, which used to compile statistics based on information provided by travel and trekking agencies, has begun collecting data from hotels and lodges also. About 22 percent of all tourists visiting Nepal make a trip to Pokhara, and 35 percent of all visitors there are Indians. Pokhara has about 350 hotels, which collectively provide about 4,500 beds every day. The city also has 75 travel and trekking agencies.
