The Hotel Professional Federation Nepal (HPFN) is a national, non-profit umbrella organization representing hotel and restaurant entrepreneurs across the country, from small establishments to star-rated hotels. Since its official registration at the District Administration Office in Kathmandu in 2068 B.S., the federation has been actively working to support and promote the hospitality industry in Nepal.

Today, HPFN represents more than 140,000 hotel entrepreneurs across all 77 districts of Nepal. It works closely with federal, provincial, and local governments, as well as with the Nepal Tourism Board, the Department of Tourism, and other tourism-related organizations both at home and abroad. Through this collaboration, the federation contributes to tourism promotion, improves service quality, and supports the economic growth of hospitality businesses. Guided by its core objectives, HPFN remains committed to making Nepal’s tourism sector stronger, more organized, and more competitive.

Nepal is a country blessed with incredible natural beauty, rich culture, deep religious heritage, and exciting adventure tourism opportunities. From the Himalayas and lakes to cultural traditions and local lifestyles, these attractions continue to draw both domestic and international visitors. This growing interest has opened up new opportunities in the hospitality sector encouraging investment, improving service standards, and inspiring innovation in areas like eco-tourism, adventure tourism, and digital promotion. HPFN continues to support its members through training, workshops, orientations, and seminars to help them grow into skilled, competitive, and responsible entrepreneurs.

The federation aims to position Nepal as a high-quality and trustworthy tourism destination by encouraging hospitality businesses to deliver excellent service to all visitors. At the same time, HPFN is dedicated to advocating for a business-friendly environment, necessary policy improvements, and the protection of the rights and interests of its members.

Looking ahead, HPFN is committed to launching more effective and impactful programs that will support sustainable tourism development, enhance service quality, strengthen the hospitality sector, and contribute further to the national economy.
