Seven-point declaration issued for Sworgadwari's development


Sworgadwari (Pyuthan), March 26: The hotel entrepreneurs in Pyuthan have issued a seven-point declaration paper for preserving the cultural heritage and developing the physical infrastructure in Sworgadwari.

The Hotel Professional Federation Nepal's Pyuthan Chapter on Saturday held a one – day interactive and publicity programme in Sworgadwari with support of Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) and in coordination with Federation of Hotel Entrepreneurs – Nepal (FHEA). The declaration was issued in view of the necessity for adopting short-term and sustainable approach for Sworgadwari's development.

The hotel entrepreneurs have underlined the problems in accommodation, transport and the offerings and materials used during the worship rituals, and expressed their readiness to provide services through well-equipped hotels and lodges to domestic as well as foreign tourists.

On the occasion, Hotel Professional Federation Nepal President, Amrit Bhujel, expressed confidence that permission for building infrastructure in Sworgadwari would contribute towards tourism promotion in adherence to established cultural and religious norms.

Bhujel was of the opinion that tourism entrepreneurs were eager to use the profession not only on commercial point of view, but also as an opportunity for social and religious service.

The declaration paper calls for implementation of the Sworgadwari Development Master Plan, building a modern and managed Dharmashala, Bhidari – Sworgadwari road upgradation, appropriate management of land property spread across the country in name of Sworgadwari and scientific management of the cowshed in Sworgadwari so as to develop it into a conservation centre.
