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.
