Nepal Association of Tour and Travel Agents (NATTA)— Gandaki is a chapter of NATTA and an umbrella organization of Tours and Travel agencies in Gandaki Province. When tourism industry and businesses with similar nature were fragmented and lacking coordination, leading travel agents within Pokhara put efforts to establish NATTA Gandaki Province (then called NATTA Western Regional Association, Pokhara). 

Fundamentally, promoting tourism and growth & development of it’s members are the primary objectives and motives behind the establishment. These are not just the motives and objectives of ours, but also a part of decentralizing the programs of NATTA Central in the region, for even more effective planning and execution. The coordination to protect the rights of each member companies and raising the collective voice and advising the government on proper planning for the sustainable growth of tourism is a major focus.

The numbers of regional association members has been increasing since establishment and now there are 184 active members in NATTA—Gandaki Province, and the numbers are growing everyday.
