Nepal's tourism industry is struggling at the start of its peak season as the Himalayan nation continues to recover from deadly floods, according to a report from Al Jazeera.
The report says around a million people who depend on tourism for their livelihoods are struggling to make ends meet in the aftermath of the flooding.
One affected area was described in the report as still experiencing conditions similar to "a lockdown," reflecting the scale of disruption to normal economic activity.
The report did not specify the exact regions hit hardest by the floods, the death toll, or a timeline for recovery of tourism infrastructure such as trekking routes, hotels, or transport links.
Tourism is a major contributor to Nepal's economy, and disruptions during the peak season can have an outsized impact on workers and businesses that rely on seasonal visitor traffic.
