Established in 2057 BS (2000 AD), Hotel Representative Society, Pokhara (होटल प्रतिनिधि समाज पोखरा) brings together the hotel representatives who are often the first people visitors meet when they arrive in Pokhara at the airport or tourist bus park.
The Society was founded to manage and facilitate the arrival of tourists in Pokhara. Over more than two decades, it has also become an active partner in public safety, often described by its members as “police without uniform”, and in social and humanitarian service.
Today the Society works closely with Pokhara's tourism organisations, Nepal Tourism Board, Pokhara Tourism Council and Nepal Police to make Pokhara a safe, welcoming destination for every traveller.
