This might bring a smile to the faces of mountaineering entrepreneurs and professionals. The government is amending the 20-year-old Tourism Regulation to make the process of obtaining permission to climb easier. The new amendment proposes allowing climbing throughout the year instead of present arrangement of four mountaineering seasons. The regulation also proposes that climbing permits be issued in one day, compared to the four months the process can take now. Also addressed are the issues of raising the remuneration, allowances and insurance ceilings for high altitude porters involved in mountaineering. Finally, the proposed amendment is concerned with keeping tourism income in the villages?it proposes offering discounts on royalties to climb mountains situated in economically disadvantaged areas.
