The Nepalese hospitality industry is very competitive. Knowledge is a resource to gain a competitive advantage in this sector.

The study is based on primary data with 382 responses. The self-administered questionnaires were used to collect the perceptive opinions from the respondents. The descriptive quantitative research designs and regression analysis were applied to develop an understanding of the research issue from 38 hotels and 59 travel and trekking agencies of Nepal stationed in the capital Valley of Kathmandu. The study concludes that the key knowledge management enablers such as collaboration, trust, learning, and information technology do influence the knowledge creationinternalization positively. Managers should promote collaboration, trust, learning and information technology facilities for employees to create knowledge in organisation.
