영문 초록

Tourism contributes to economic growth and poverty alleviation, significantly. Nepal has a strong comparative advantage in tourism. However, the performance of the industry has remained, unsatisfactory. Measured in terms of tourist arrivals, Nepal's share in world tourism industry is only about 0.04%. Despite strong potential, tourism growth declined in 2000s in Nepal, significantly mainly because of conflict and security uncertainly. Recent statistics shows that the industry has started rebounding in the country, but we need to investigate why this sector is under performing and how Nepal can increase market share in an increasingly competitive world tourism market. This paper briefly reviews some of the challenges of the tourism industry and suggests some possible strategic initiatives that need to be undertaken to increase the role of tourism industry in the Nepalese economy.
