Diageo Bar Academy has opened in Nepal with the objective of providing bartenders and bar staff the opportunity to develop their professional capabilities and teaching them the ways to create outstanding experiences for their customers. The training has been opened in association with Global Trading Concern -- the distribution partner of Diageo Bar Academy in Nepal.

"By investing in training for bartenders, we hope to elevate the standard of Nepal´s top bars to that seen in other parts of Asia, Europe and America, where the artistry, craftsmanship and theatre of bartending is widely admired and emulated throughout the world," said the statement. Eddie Harris, general manager of Diageo Emerging South-East Asia, said: "We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Academy in Nepal, which is a key component of the company´s continued commitment to Nepal´s hospitality industry."
