Key Words: Tourism activities, Tourism Opportunities, diversity, Eco-tourism. Background Tourism is one of the important factors in the economic sector of Nepal. It doesn’t just create employment opportunities but attracts many international tourists which bring in foreign currency. In this regard, to have more international tourist means to be in more foreign currency and as the exchange rate varies, the foreign currency can be a boon for the economic progress of the country. People working in the tourism industry are the direct beneficiary but the people working in agriculture, airlines, hospital, hotels are the indirect beneficiary. The products from the indirect beneficiary can be promoted via tourism and get to the international market as well. It helps people to understand each other and respect each other which helps to maintain harmony in the country and around the world. Various relevant policy documents, proceedings of various seminars, study reports and such other documents can be reviewed for extracting secondary information of tourism and how tourism has been influential in the life of people who are dependent on it. -

Allison Bolger December 8, 2011 A Geologic Guide to the Gokyo Ri Trek: Its Hazards, Nepal’s Hindrances Abstract The purpose of this Independent Research Project is to study the geology of the Gokyo Ri Trek and record it in the form of a publishable, trailside guidebook. This guidebook will not only enhance trekkers’ academic experience with enjoyable, interesting facts about Gokyo’s geology, but will also inform them of the natural hazards all around. From glacial lakes and high mountain peaks to precarious scree slopes and towering ice falls, the geology of Sagarmatha National Park offers more than just rocks and snow. With these natural, yet highly unpredictable wonders and the tourists they attract also comes the power to severely hinder, or possibly even improve, local livelihoods. -
