                                                  “Essay Writing”
                     TOURISM IN NEPAL
            Tourism is an English word popular all over the world. Tourism generally refers to the business that deals with the tourist. It is the biggest industry, it has its influence throughout the world even in our country Nepal, one of the richest in natural beauty. This industry has become an issue of great concern in every country existing in this world.
            Tourists are the persons who travel different places away from their residence with the purpose of business, entertainment, holiday, pilgrimage, vacations and so on. Thus, tourism industry is the trade that is generally brought in practice with the view to deal with tourists.
            Tourism is of great importance for each and every country as it does not only help in economic development but also in the overall development of a country. In the present context, tourism is supporting 1.8 % of the total GNP. This industry includes hotels, restaurants, entertainment centers, adventure centers and so on, which is the want of each and every tourist.
            In the present context of our beautiful country, Nepal, which has the highest peak of the world. Nepal is highly rich is biodiversity, highly prosperous in its ancient art, culture, sculpture. In spite of its small size, tourism is highly influenced here. Tourism is mainly flourished in places like Pokhara, Kathmandu, and Solukhumbu which has variety of bio-diversity, culture and whose people can give a warm, happier and friendly welcome to the tourists. Thus, Nepal has been the best destination for all the tourists residing in different nooks and corners of the world.
            Tourism Industry has truly helped a lot to our country as it does have a lot of advantages. It is a source of foreign currency for Nepal, it has helped to develop physical infrastructures of development, and it has helped to maintain a strong diplomatic relation with many Asian, European as well as countries of other continents like North America, South America and Australia. It has even provided courage and has developed interest in people to establish cottage industry.
            It is not important for anything to have only merits. Alike this industry has also some of major drawbacks.  This industry has brought influence of drugs and affected the local culture as youths easily get attracted to the foreign culture that may lead to the extinction or rareness of our own culture in near future. This industry has also brought severe problems like life threatening diseases and pollution along with the increment in the number of crime. Though, it has demerits, the numbers of merits are comparatively more than demerits. So, tourism is likely to flourish in a rapid pace in Nepal
            Even though Nepal realized the importance of tourism, it has not been able to make proper maintenance of national property for the development of tourism. Government of Nepal especially the department and ministry directed to perform the works related to tourism should establish hotels, restaurants, entertainment centers, security to tourists, organized tourist centers in order to take much benefit from the industry. Moreover, they should  give an intense priority to protect the monuments, buildings, statues, arts and other property that reflect our unique lifestyle, tradition, culture and give opportunity to the local people to protect their traditional, cultural and obviously the natural  property so that they can have the realization of their responsibility and belongingness, that reflects the  status of contemporary society.
            So, in nutshell, we should develop tourism industry and help it to flourish in a proper and systematic manner for smooth and rapid development of our country. We should also never forget that the nature has provided us with its most precious gift as a plus point for us all.
