KATHMANDU， Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Tourism in Nepal headed towards revival in 2016 driven by the arrivals from China and India， after the Himalayan country suffered badly in 2015 from a powerful earthquake， and India's blockade that kept tourists away.
Nepal's Department of Immigration statistics showed that tourist arrivals from China to Nepal surged by 55.26 percent to 104，005 in 2016 on year-on-year basis. Likewise， arrivals from India also grew by 57.4 percent to 118，249 last year. Two neighboring giants are the largest source markets for Nepal's tourism industry.
As a result， overall arrivals in Nepal rose by 39.71 percent to 753，002 in 2016 after arrivals plunged to a six-year low of 538，970 in 2015. Despite recovery， arrivals are yet to reach the 2014 level when Nepal received a total of 790，118 foreign travelers.
Nepalese tourism entrepreneurs also feel that the tourism sector is in recovery path.
Kishore Raj Pandey， chairman of Sathi Travel， the first Nepalese travel agency bringing Chinese tourists to Nepal， said that booking from Chinese travelers are on the rise in the recent months.
"We are getting bookings from 200 to 300 Chinese groups of visitors in a month which had reached as low as 50 during the crisis period in 2015，" he said， adding that such bookings are yet to reach the level of 2014 when they used to get bookings up to 600 groups a month.
Meanwhile， there has been a growth of Chinese visitors who have made Nepal their only destination for a trip.
"Earlier， many of them used to visit Nepal and India or Nepal and Bhutan in a single package，" said Pandey.
Nepal has witnessed a constant growth in Chinese arrivals since June 2009 until it plunged in 2015.
Nepal first participated in the China International Travel Fair in 2000 to promote the country's tourism.

ELINA Svitolina surged to No. 1 in the season-long rankings race by winning the Italian Open yesterday with a 4-6
Cheap Mike Iupati Jersey , 7-5, 6-1 victory over Simona Halep.
It was a tour-best fourth title this year for Svitolina and the most prestigious trophy of her career so far. The 22-year-old Ukrainian also leads the tour with 31 match wins this season, putting her among the favorites for the French Open, which starts next Sunday.
“Every day I’m just trying to work on my mental part
Cheap Markus Golden Jersey , my physical, my tennis,” Svitolina said. “Everything just came together and I’m very happy that it’s happened in such a big tournament.”
The fourth-ranked Halep was in full control and serving for the first set at 5-2 when she rolled her right ankle while sliding over what appeared to be a small hole in the Foro Italico stadium court.
While Halep was able to eventually win the opening set, she required treatment to her ankle from a trainer twice and was late getting to shots as the match wore on.
“Sorry guys for third set
Cheap D.J. Humphries Jersey ,” Halep told the crowd. “It was a little tough for me to get through but Elina played great.”
Halep was playing in her second clay-court final in two weeks after winning the title in Madrid last Sunday.
Svitolina also required medical treatment from a trainer midway through the second set, for an apparent problem with her left leg.
“Hopefully we’ll recover, me and Simona, because we’re struggling a bit physically

During the post-match presentation, Svitolina dropped the cover of the silver trophy on to the red claycourt, prompting her to say, “Oops.”
The first two sets featured long

“It was very tough first two sets and I’m really happy that it’s all finished,” Svitolina said.
Svitolina advanced to her maiden Rome final on Saturday when Spanish semifinal opponent Garbine Muguruza, the French Open champion, retired injured as she trailed 1-4 to the big-hitting Ukrainian. Muguruza now faces an uphill task to be ready for Roland Garros.
But Svitolina
