Expression of Interest (EOI)

USAID Trade and Competitiveness Activity is a five-year activity that provides opportunities for the Nepali economy as it is recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Activity aims to enables Nepal to capitalize on global integration to diversify toward higher quality and higher value exports, foster sustainable job growth and income-generating opportunities for those that have previously been left behind by economic growth, and create greater sustainability and resilience. The goal is to accelerate firm and sector level competitiveness, generate employment opportunities, and increase sales of firms through interventions that incentivize public and private sector actors across the ecosystem to adopt new behaviors driving outcomes across four objectives:

1. To increase access to market-based financial and non-financial services.
2. To increase productivity in sectors with high growth and employment potential; and
3. To improve the investment climate and business enabling environment (BEE), especially for targeted sectors.
4. To support private sector-led economic recovery.

This is to seek EOIs from hotels operating in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and Kavre. The objective is to provide support to mid-sized hotels to improve their service standards and facilities to attract more tourists aiming to boost their revenue. The support will be focused on development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), OTA integration and SEO optimization.
