The Hospitality Sales & Marketing Association Nepal (HSMAN) hosted its fifth Sales Meet 2026 today at Wave Hospitality, Kathmandu, bringing together sales and marketing professionals from Nepal’s hospitality industry for networking, knowledge sharing, business exchange and professional growth.
Addressing the gathering, Dipak Pokhrel, General Secretary of HSMAN, expressed his happiness at welcoming hospitality professionals to the event and reflected on the association’s journey since its beginning in 2022.
“Our journey began on August 31, 2022, at Hotel Satkar & Spa, when sales professionals from hotels and resorts came together for the first time under one platform,” Pokhrel said. “What started as a small initiative has now developed into a meaningful platform for unity, professional relationships, networking, business exchange and growth.”
Since its inception, HSMAN has continued to organize the Sales Meet as a platform for hospitality sales professionals to connect and strengthen professional relationships.
HSMAN’s Sales Meet Journey
The association has successfully organized five Sales Meet events:
- First Sales Meet: September 19, 2022 – Tapes Resort
- Second Sales Meet: September 20, 2023 – Tapes Resort
- Third Sales Meet: September 20, 2024 – Chitlang, Makwanpur
- Fourth Sales Meet: July 4, 2025 – Best Western Plus Kathmandu
- Fifth Sales Meet: August 22, 2026 – Wave Hospitality, Kathmandu
Beyond professional networking, HSMAN has also emphasized social responsibility as part of its activities. As part of this commitment, the association successfully organized a Blood Donation Program on February 8, 2026, at Crystal Pashupati, Gaushala.
HSMAN Plans to Expand Industry Collaboration
Speaking about the association’s future direction, Pokhrel said HSMAN’s vision will not be limited to organizing the Sales Meet. The association plans to create more opportunities for learning, networking, collaboration and professional development across the hospitality and tourism sectors.
Among the key initiatives planned for the coming days are the organization of a Tourism Meet bringing together stakeholders from hotels, resorts, travel agencies and the wider tourism industry.
HSMAN also plans to conduct regular training and skill-development programs for sales and marketing professionals, while working with hospitality and tourism associations to organize joint programs, workshops, networking events and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
The association further aims to expand B2B networking and business exchange opportunities and encourage young hospitality professionals to become part of its growing network, supporting their career development and professional advancement.
According to Pokhrel, HSMAN aims to establish itself as a strong professional platform where industry professionals can connect, businesses can grow, knowledge can be shared and the hospitality and tourism industry can move forward collectively.
Building a Stronger Hospitality Community
Pokhrel expressed his gratitude to the HSMAN Executive Committee, members, sponsors, partners, hoteliers, sales professionals and everyone who has contributed directly or indirectly to the association’s journey.
He emphasized that the continued participation and support of industry professionals will be essential to making Sales Meet 2026 a successful and memorable event.
The association’s vision for the future is reflected in five key principles:
Togetherness • Unity • Networking • Learning • Business Growth
With its continued focus on professional networking, industry collaboration, learning and social responsibility, HSMAN seeks to further strengthen the connection among Nepal’s hospitality and tourism professionals and contribute to the sustainable growth of the industry.
