Nepal flood crisis becomes a major regional travel-safety concern

Severe flash flooding in Nepal has triggered a major emergency, with authorities searching for hundreds of tourists and travellers reported missing.

Reports on 27 August put the number of missing tourists and travellers at more than 600, although figures were evolving as rescue operations continued.

Trade angle: DMCs, tour operators and insurers need to monitor Himalayan itineraries closely, particularly for clients travelling through Nepal and adjoining Tibet-linked circuits.
