Importance of  Tourism in Nepal

Nepal is best-known for being one of the most famous travel destinations in the world. With thousands of tourists visiting the county every year, tourism in Nepal has soared to new heights. The capital city of the country, Kathmandu and the city of lakes, Pokhara are the top cities in the country to see a sharp increase in the number of tourists in recent years. From UNESCO world heritage sites to different ancient landmarks, from a diverse ethnic community to experiencing different cultures and traditions, all of which have been successful to catch the interest of foreigners to visit the country of Nepal.

Tourism is one of the mainstay of Nepalese economy today. It is also a major source of foreign exchange and revenue. Possessing 8 of 10 highest mountains in the world, Nepal is a hotspot destination for mountaineers, rock climbers and people seeking adventures.

Tourism heavily influences the working of Nepal’s government. Tourism is the number one source to generate foreign currency in Nepal. A number of people can find jobs in the sectors related to tourism. Thus, the problem of unemployment can be lessened. As the tourism sector grows and more foreigners spend their time in Nepal, the inflow of the currency directly uplifts the working of the country. As Nepal imports more goods than exporting its local products, the foreign currency is the highest number two source to generate money for the country to compete internationally.

Foreigners take a keen interest in handicraft goods made from the local products using raw material available in the country. Goods like carpers, status, portraits are at a high demand by travelers. This helps the community to grow and cottage industries to get benefited. It also expands the popularity of the Nepalese people’s handiwork throughout the world.

When foreigners visit the country, they get to experience the local culture and traditions. Historical site visits and observing the art and architecture of famous UNESCO world heritage sites and landmarks help the country to spread its religious norms and values throughout the world. Tourism helps us to spread our influence in the world. Names of sites like Pashupatinath, Boudhanath, Muktinath, Swayambhunath, Lumbini, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Davis Falls, Phewa Lake, and more have been successfully spread in the world. This has led to an increase in tourist inflow to watch visit these places and its surroundings. This helps to generate easy income for people around the landmarks. Moreover, we can learn their languages, cultures and traditions from the tourists.

To sum up, tourism helps to publicize the country around the world so that more people know Nepal and its authentic beauty. It helps to publicize Nepalese art, skills, tradition, culture, and hospitality to the world. Therefore, the government has to bring more plans and policies to develop tourism industry in the country so as to bring prosperity and economic stability.
