Philippe Belhay had three options; to work as a General manager at The PuYu Hotel and Spa,Wuhan or The Concorde in Cairo, Egypt or Hotel Yak and Yeti and Lal Durbar Convention Centre, Nepal. Without hesitation he chose Nepal, and started his journey in May 2014.
In 1982 Belhay worked in the diplomatic quarter in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where he had over 4,500 employee from various countries and among them 1,300 employees from Nepal. “I had a great time and integrated with their culture, and wanted to live that culture, so for that very reason I came to Nepal,” says Belhay.
He recalls his journey in Nepal to be full of adventure, “When we had the earthquake in April/May this year, everything was in the doldrums, however, it was worth every pain and the hard work that I went through without having my family here with me, it was truly rewarding at the end . I have done it to ensure that I am contributing to both Hotel Yak and Yeti and the country in the tourism sector,” says Belhay with pride
