Traveland Tourismhas been regarded as the world's biggest business and most fruitful industry in the world and many nations have made heavy investments in this sector. Nepal is an important tourist destination in the world tourism map with its vast potentials of natural attractions, socio-cultural values and archaeological heritages. Tourismhas wider implications encompassing not only economic benefits but also social and cultural benefits as well. It also encompasses environmental, educational and political significance. Nepal offers tourists a breath-taking experience of nature and ever-present mountain scenery, including Everest, the world's highest peak. Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal has an incredibly rich cultural heritage, both built and living. This includes intriguing historic living cities, overflowing with monuments some of which are of great antiquity. It has many styles of traditional settlement, all set against some of the world's most dramatic mountain scenery. Festivals, often dating from pre-history, still abound and are filled with vitality and colour. The city is blessed by a pleasant year-round climate, affording stunning mountain views for much of the year. In addition to this the city is peopled by an unfailingly friendly population who are generally very happy to share their innate hospitality as well as their many customs and traditions with visitors. Kathmandu has an immense amount to offer both the general and special interest visitor and it developed as one of the world's most fashionable long haul exotic destinations.

  • Number: Title: Abstract: Authors: Acknowledgments
    NUMBER: Working Paper ITS-WP-94-5 TITLE: Aviation and Tourism in Nepal: Liberalising Airline Competition in a Less Developed Country ABSTRACT: Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries, but it has natural and cultural assets that have enabled it to generate a sizeable tourism industry. As part of a strategy to increase the nation's income from tourism, His Majesty's Government of Nepal is encouraging visitors to venture out of the Kathmandu Valley but it has been recognised that the domestic transport system requires improvement, especially the commercial aviation industry. Until recently, the Government's own airline has enjoyed a monopoly, but a new liberalisation policy has permitted private sector airlines to compete. Capacity and services have been upgraded as a result, but challenges remain to be addressed. Airport infrastructure is inadequate and administration of civil aviation needs to be improved. Also, the Government's airline needs strengthening if it is to play an important role in the future of the domestic aviation industry. More critical, perhaps, are the inherent flaws in the regulatory framework. The pressures on the aviation industry in Nepal are being experienced in other less developed countries. This paper draws out general implications of the move to more liberal competition policies. AUTHORS: Paul Hooper Deputy Director, Institute of Transport Studies Simon Hutcheson, General Manager, Michael Kellaway International KEYWORDS: aviation policy, deregulation, tourism plans, less developed countries. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: This paper is based on work the authors completed in a study carried out for His Majesty's Government of Nepal and the Asian Development Bank to recommend ways of improving the domestic aviation industry's ability to support tourism development in that country.
