13. Tourism in Nepal

Nepal abounds with unique natural phenomena such as winding rivers, enchanting mountain ranges, forests, valleys and plains. Despite being small in size, Nepal is rich in ethnic culture and is unique in diverse weather. Due to these natural phenomena, people from different parts of the world come here every year as tourists. Tourism can be the major business to earn foreign currency which can be spent on development works.

Natural phenomena itself is not sufficient to run tourism. We have to have some basic requirements such as: good roads, hotels, security, easy access of communication, publicity, honest service, etc. We need to prepare required human resources for tourist industry. For this purpose, it should be included in school and university curriculum. Mountain trekking, pony trekking, rafting, bungee jumping, rock climbing, jungle safari are some of the major activities for tourists.

Tourism is one of Nepal's sustainable sources of income. This industry has supported our national economy for quite a long time. It is not only the source of income but also means of solving unemployment problem. What all we need to do is to make long term vision, and launch program accordingly.
