Tourism as a source of Economy

Tourism is considered as a force of economic and social change. Tourism plays very important role for economic change in developing countries.
In Developing countries when there is not much export of the other things. It is the only means of foreign currency earning. Tourism in Nepal has strong relevance to economic development but as a recent phenomenon, it has to find a distinctive role in the building of the country. It has become the good source of raising capital and employment on the country.
In Nepal mainly mountaining region is considered as a major tourist area. But it lacks the initiative development. There are lots of places in Nepal where there is no any facility of transportation, as say lack of basic infrastructure like: electricity, water and transportation. If these things are well developed then, Nepal will be able to gain maximum foreign currency from tourism. There are also other problems, which have played a barrier for growth of tourism industry just like language problem. In the rural areas people don’t know English language and foreigner don’t know nepali language. Productive activities are not held to increase the efficiency of it.

But now tourism industry is in danger because of political instability. Political instability of Nepal has become one major problem for tourism industry. The number of tourist is decreasing day by day with the fear of violence of Nepal. Lots of Banda and strikes creates problem for tourists. That’s why they do not prefer to come to Nepal.
Many hotels are closed because of the decreasing number of tourists. Many people lost their jobs because of the closing down of hotels. It has caused lower GDP also increased unemployment. Which two are the major facts necessary for economic crisis.
