Today it is the most exotic touristic zone not because of its natural beauty but it offers many artificial venture. Switzerland too have similar story. Therefore, what we Nepalese must understand is that We are so fortunate that mother nature has blessed us with the glory of nature, and Nepalese people are famous for our brotherhood, peaceful behavior, and ever smiling face; so all what we need at the moment is right and better leadership. Leadership that would control the government in stable way and start the balance development of tourism in country. We don’t need to do much just recognizing the right and better touristic zone, and managing it with the world standard but in unique Nepali way would be better.

           Nepal is a country of villages. Traveling in the villages of Nepal, a traveler can see the way of life which has not changed even at the advent of modern science and technology. Promoting the concept like Homestay in Nepal can transform the economic prosperity of the country. It is in the sense that visitors within this concept spend a few days living with the local people where they will be treated as honored family guests. In doing so, the travelers may spend a considerable amount of money in the local area. Besides this, travelers are pretty much interested to look the simplicity, to taste the local food, and to witness local cultural practices.

Apart from this, they can enjoy the taste of local products as well. Hence, if Agro tourism is emphasized in this country, it will bring a huge change in the field of tourism in Nepal.

The hospitality sector is an important bedrock of promoting Nepal in the international arena. Despite Nepal’s hotel industry is providing world class hospitality to visitors it is not the end of the story.

Our country can rise higher in economical scale. The leadership of the nation too plays the vital role to make the country renown in the world. If we check the statistic of the arrivals of tourists it’s being fluctuating throughout the years but can rise it high by considering on those important fields. The legal authority and Nepal Tourism Board should think twice upon these issues.
