Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN), to control illegal operations and for proper maintenance of trekkers’ data, is trying to implement a one-window Trekking Information Management System (TIMS).
According to TAAN president Jyoti Adhikari, the multi-window system is not effective as it is hard to take action against illegal activities as the data are not exact and accurate due to lack of a control mechanism. “ We are on the trail basis now but as soon as the gazette is published we will get full authority to conduct the TIMS,” said Adhikari.
The Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation decided on May 13 has named TAAN as the authorised body to implement the one-window system through it.
“We are working on software designing through which we will be updated about tourist arrivals and other personal data in order to control illegal activities in this sector,” said Adhikari.
According to Adhikari, TAAN is all set for the implementation of TIMS. Along with the control mechanism through software, there will be representatives at major gateways for cross-checks.
“Through web based data we can get information about the peak time movements and prepare fo control. We will also get to know about the routes which hav maximum flow of tourist and trekkers,” Adhikari said.
