Himalayan Nation Ready to Approve Gay Marriages
"We're completely changing this country. It's a newborn republic - and we want to showcase this change," The Times quoted Nepal's Tourism Minister Sharat Singh Bhandari, as saying.
"We also want to re-establish tourism as a major industry."
Bhandari says he is aiming to attract at least one million tourists to Nepal in 2011, more than double the number last year.
He kicked off the marketing campaign in October with a written message to the International Conference on Gay and Lesbian Tourism in Boston - an unprecedented gesture for an Asian minister.
"As the world knows, Nepal is the land of Mount Everest, world's highest peak and the birth place of Lord Buddha, light of Asia," the message said.
"I, therefore, would like to take this opportunity to invite and welcome all the sexual and gender minorities from around the world," he said then.
Nepal is also due to host the first Asian Symposium on Gay and Lesbian Tourism in Kathmandu in June.
