The Gen-Z movement has caused significant damage to the hotel sector, with at least 25 hotels, resorts, lodges, and restaurants affected across Nepal, the Nepal Hotel Association (NHA) reported.
According to NHA, the unrest on Monday and Tuesday, including vandalism and arson by protesters, has led to estimated losses of around Rs. 25 billion. Hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara suffered the most damage, while Bhairahawa, Butwal, Dhangadhi, Jhapa, Dang, and Bardibas were also affected.
The association stated that over 2,000 workers have been directly impacted due to the destruction and fire. Many of the affected hotels are expected to remain non-operational during the peak tourist season. NHA added that approximately 60% of the damaged hotels are likely to receive partial compensation through insurance.
