Aiming to develop the tourism business between Nepal and Bangladesh and promote Nepal as a tourist destination, the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB), in association with the local Nepali embassy, organised the Media and Tour Operators Meet in Dhaka on 13 June. In 2003 alone about 24,000 tourist visas to Nepal were issued to Bangladeshis. Biman has five flights a week between Kathmandu and Dhaka.
