Nepal’s economy is forecast to grow at the fastest pace in 20 years in 2017, with tourism arrivals also recovering, helping to attract foreign investment into its casino sector.
Foreign investors are now moving back into the country and the casino sector. During the Nepal Investment Summit in March a total of US$13.7bn was pledged in foreign direct investment, with the bulk from China.
About $10m was earmarked for tourism and casinos are reopening.
