Tourism as a Business




Tourism is big business in Nepal. Local people can benefit and develop their lives out of poverty with tourism, despite the fact that tourists can dilute the culture and often damage the local area. Tourism can lead to development, such as healthcare and cleaner water, and this can be good if tourism is sustained long enough for people to demand those services, but again many disadvantages can come with this. The industry can also act as a substitute to other methods of income, such as agriculture or secondary industry, which may start to struggle.
