Welcome to Gurung Tourism Entrepreneurs' Association, Nepal

Gurung Tourism Entrepreneurs’ Association, Nepal (GTEAN) was formed and registered with the Kathmandu CDO Office in 2012 by a handful of trekking, Rafting and Travel agents who realized that it was time to assemble and create an umbrella organization. Under which they could work together to meet their common goals and also assist the various tourism umbrella organizations and government by providing suggestions to develop trekking, travel, rafting and other tourism related business into a revenue generating industry. Such a body was necessary for many reasons. There was a need for a single organization, which could undertake the major responsibilities to develop and promote adventure tourism in the country. The need for a responsible body, which could play a significant and conducive role to mitigate mountain environmental stress, was felt essential.

Since the inception of GTEAN not only the trekking, rafting and Travel agencies have been increasing, and so has the GTEAN members. In the initial phase GTEAN limited its membership only to Nepalese trekking, Travel and Rafting agents including Pokhara sector. Nevertheless, it has opened its associate membership to foreign organizations to broaden the scope of the Association.
