advantages of tourism

Tourism in Nepal is generally seen as a great benefit as it has created wealth and jobs. “With around 363,000 international tourists visiting Nepal in 2001 alone, the industry is an essential part of the country’s economy, contributing approximately 11.2 billion Nepali Rupees to the national GDP (1998/1999).” Cited from UNESCO (2004). On the other hand figures have shown that just under 50% of Nepal lives in poverty. Things are being done to combat poverty levels though. Overall looking at the extent of constraint by impact management, I have to say it depends on individual cases. Although Nepal is a mountain region same as the Alps it has very different social, economic and environmental constraints. The best suited tourism for the Upper Mustang region is community based.
