It is not just small lodges in the trekking routes that lack an online booking system but also smaller hotels and lodges in Kathmandu and Pokhara that could benefit from it. In fact, it may be easier to build a system for hotels in Kathmandu first and then expand to trekking routes. If some Nepali entrepreneur does not build such a system, I am sure international sites and tripadvisor.com, agoda.com or hotel.com will capture this market (they already handle bookings for major hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara).

The biggest challenge however is to convince the hotel or lodge owner to start using a computerized reservation system. Reservation management systems for hotels can be an expensive purchase so this product needs a basic reservation management system that can be given to the hotels for free or a small fee. The data from this system can then be fed to the online reservation system. Once the tool is perfected, it can be used in hotels in trekking routes. Once there are examples of other hotels using the system, the hotel owners are more likely to adopt this new system.
