As part of the larger South Asian research, the Nepal study aims to assess gender dimensions and its potential in regional trade integration with the prospect of furthering green growth and environment friendly ecotourism in Nepal. In comparison to other sectors, ecotourism in Nepal encompasses parameters of gender and ecofriendly industries with potential for intra-regional trade in South Asia. Since the beginning of trade liberalization in the mid- 1980s, Nepal has sought to engage with the world economy through various multilateral, regional and bilateral trade agreements. It became the 147th member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in April 2004, and recently signed two regional trade agreements, namely, Agreement on South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) and Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Trade and Economic Cooperation Free Trade Area Framework Agreement (BIMSTEC). Nepal also has bilateral trade agreement with its largest trading partner, India, since 1950.
