Kathmandu Environmental Education Project (KEEP)

The project promotes the ethics of sustainable tourism to visitors, as well as working with local people to preserve their own environment and culture.

Programs  supported by AFAP:

Eco-Tourism Programs

AFAP supported KEEP in establishing the community-based ecotourism initiatives in rural areas of Nepal. KEEP annually conducts needs-based training as demanded by this industry to strengthen the abilities of tourism professionals. Some of the training and workshops include: language courses, leadership courses, mountain safety training as well as specific presentations on environment, conservation and responsible tourism as conducted by KEEP. In addition, the Environmental Awareness Program has also been effective in promoting minimum impact trekking and responsible trekking to trekkers and tourism professionals via its information centre in Kathmandu.
