Forbes invites VX Tours Nepal to exclusive exhibit

Forbes invites VX Tours Nepal to exclusive exhibit

Forbes hosts an annual exhibit showcasing the fastest growing global start-ups run by young entrepreneurs. This event brings together the world’s most disruptive companies, influential investors and respected journalists. Forbes invited VX Tours Nepal to exhibit their business at this year’s event. VX Tours Nepal is a New Zealand start-up that organises hikes to Everest Base Camp. Forbes has invited the company because of their unique business model and commitment to improving working conditions in the Himalayan region of Nepal. The company pays its porters at least 50% more than any of its major competitors. In addition to this, the company offers its employees comprehensive medical insurance and other benefits which are not provided by its competitors.

The Forbes exhibit provides a huge opportunity for VX Tours Nepal to secure investment. The company is considering various investment options to support the rapid growth they are experiencing. The company’s growth has resulted in large group bookings and expansion into further tour offerings, such as rhino and tiger safaris. At their latest Forbes event, VX Tours Nepal secured a group booking of approximately 400 people. The booking is split into smaller tour groups to minimise the impact on the environment and local communities. Obtaining investment at the Forbes exhibit would allow the company to expand their infrastructure across Nepal and continue growing with ease.

VX Tours Nepal is taking a team of representatives to the Forbes exhibit. However, they are also looking for 5 Sales and Marketing experts to join the team during the conference dates (with 1 permanent position available). The company is currently taking applications for these positions. They are looking for sales and marketing experts that have experience pitching to investors. The ideal applicants would be passionate about hiking and ethical tourism. All applicants must also demonstrate an interest in start-ups and entrepreneurship.
