KATHMANDU, JUL 16 -

Beed Management, a management consulting and financial advisory services firm, has won a global bid to work on a consulting contract with the government of Rwanda.

The company said in a statement that it would be preparing a business plan for a cable car project on Mt Karisimbi besides undertaking a visioning and planning exercise for an ecotourism project.

The project involves establishing a US$ 35 million cable car on Rwanda’s highest peak Mt Karisimbi.

Meanwhile, the ecotourism project envisages establishing a 260 sq km area to promote ecotourism to make Rwanda the premier ecotourism destination in Central and East Africa.

The ecotourism project is projected to attract investments of $ 2 billion.

Sujeev Shakya, chief executive officer of Beed, described the deal as a proud moment for Nepali firms as they have shown to be able to win global bids and take their expertise outside the boundaries of Nepal.

“Our dreams of going international have begun, apart from remittance dollars, Nepal can now earn foreign exchange in the knowledge business also,” he said.
