Item Challenges and Prospects of Tourism In Fikkal: A Case Study of Kholagaun VDC, Sindhuli District, Nepal(Central Department of Rural Development, 2014) Baral, NirmalaIn developing countries like ours where low productivity still prevails in agricultural and industrial sector, tourism can be seen as a greater prospect which can contribute to compensate unemployment and disguised unemployment prevailing in the country as well as Fikkal of Sindhuli district. It comparatively holds more advantages than other industries such as, it has low opportunity cost,it takes low gestation period to give returns,can involve the lower strata of the people of all ecological zone,involves women and ethnic groups and bears direct relation to all dimensions of life like culture, environment, nature, behaviour of people etc. The history of Tourism in Nepal has become very old,but still the rural population has not been able to be benefited from the tourism industry itself. There are only limited areas like Kathmandu , Chitwan, and Pokhara where tourism has been occupied,so it is necessary to conduct additional micro level studies within alternative areas like Fikkal. Fikkal holds high potential in the field of tourism as it is a storage area of nature and living culture. The region also plays a crucial role towards tourism development within the country. Fikkal which is also rich in cultural heritage, natural scenery, fairs and festivals,pristine natural beauty,hospitable people , ancient religious and historical monuments make this district one of the most wonderful tourist destinations. Fikkal offers its traditional culture, life style,scenic beauty and hospitality to tourists. This study has tried to explore the current inflow of tourists, impacts as well as challenges and prospects of tourism . The main objective of the study is to find the challenges and prospects of tourism in Fikkal. This study has adopted explorative as well as descriptive research design and has been analyzed with both qualitative and quantitative approach techniques. Both primary and secondary data has been used as a source of analysis. The region is full of high and low hills,plains,gorge etc.On the whole it is a rural area, but in these recent years there has been some social and physical development resulting into urbanization . Most of the settlements are of small sizes and there are limited big settlements as well. The district's main economy is dependent on agricultural sector which is slightly decreasing these days. Human labour who are engaged in agriculture are either landless or those having very few lands. Only five percent of people have agricultural production sufficient throughout the entire year. However, Fikkal is the store house of various tourism products as it is covered with rural settlements, mixed forests and rich bio-diversities . There are other famous places like Chanaute,Kholagaun,Tinpokhari and Thuliban which can be more beneficial to attract domestic as well as foreign visitors. Different Tourist models like pilgrimage Tourism,Village Tourism/Urban Tourism, Nature based tourism, Adventure tourism, Health tourism, Floriculture Tourism can be developed in this place.This place is also blessed with hills that embraces amazing scenic beauty , perennial rivers with fresh water which can be appropriate for water rafting and other adventure tourism like Trekking, Rock climbing,Mountain Biking and many more if marketed strategically and developed properly .As a whole this results to huge inflow of domestic as well as foreign tourists that would ultimately contribute in raising the living standard of the rural people. It is of utmost importance to initiate tourist level facilities in major areas, create awareness and conduct trainings related to hospitality management . Various organizations working in the field of tourism should cooperate for the promotion of the local areas. Accordingly we can also link with institutional agencies that priortizes women empowerment and tourism development. On the contrary, there are some hindrances which still exists in this region . Mainly, most of the roads in this area remains dusty and are in a dilapidated condition . Weak infrastructure, lack of access to airlines, lack of coordinated efforts, lack of institutional tourism agencies, lack of awareness, migration,depletion of forest, lack of manpower, degradation of environment and biodivesities, gender inequality, illiteracy etc. are some among them.Item Climate Change and its Impact on Tourism and Livelihood in Nepal: A Case Study of Manaslu Conservation Area(Department of Economics, 2014) K.C., AnupWith a special focus to study the impact of climate change in tourism and livelihood, this research was carried out in Manaslu Conservtion Area (MCA) of Gorkha district of Nepal. The study was done with the help of 76 household (HH) survey, 3 focus group discussions (FGD), 5 key informant interviews (KII) and by analysis of secondary data and literature. Regression model was used to assess impact of climate change on Tourism and Livelihood. Socioeconomic variables such as population (age, marital status, size of household), livestock holding status, land holding status, education and occupation of the HH were affecting the living standard of people and tourism participation. Climate change impact was perceived as increase in frequency of landslides, increase in temperature resulting in faster melting of snow, unfavorable weather change phenomenon, snowfall in the month of May, decrease in agricultural productivity and economic instability affecting the livelihood of people. Number of visitors is increasing in MCA in recent years which might be due to the positive impact of climate change and publicity in national and international scenario. Physical capital, square of physical capital, tourism participation and income are positively significant with per capita HHs consumption. It shows that holding more land encourage tourism participation. It helps to earn more money which in turn positively affects the livelihood of the people. Climate change had insignificant impact on livelihood of the people in the study area at present. There was significant impact of tourism in livelihood of the local people in MCA till the date. The scenario might be different if the climate change and its impact increases in the future. So, awareness and education programmes related to tourism, gender empowerment of women towards tourism participation, advertisement and publicity on tourism promotion in national and international level, adequate subsidy and training on ecotourism, skill development trainings on handicraft and further research to identify the relationship between climate change, tourism and livelihood is recommended.

It has affected almost every part of the world and Nepal is not an exception. Nepal is recognize as a tourist destination because of its unique nature beside cultural heritage and religious /traditional practices. Historical monuments and the sites of pilgrimage are sure to motivate tourists to visit Nepal at least once in life time . The concept of ecotourism started from Costa-Rica in 1987 by a Tour Operator . Principally ecotourism needs areas especially unspoiled natural areas. Ecotourism is a complex and multidisciplinary phenomenon and has a tremendous role to play in the interpretation of nature and natural resources, as well as in the understanding of human history and its interaction with the rural environment , and the diffusion of environments revealed that there knowledge and awareness. Ecotourism implies travelling to relatively undisturbed or uncontaminated natural areas with specific objective such as studying, admiring, and enjoying the scenery with its flora and fauna, as well as any existing cultural manifestations. Nepal as a naturally beautiful country having huge biodiversity contains great potentiality of ecotourism. Panchase area lies in the midhills of western development region. The area often reflected as Panchase region that consists of Panchase hill and its 15 adjoining VDCs of three districts. The region has a great biological, cultural and religious diversity and natural beauty as well. Panchase have sub-tropical to temperate environment, different forest types so it is contains one of the huge potential areas of eco-tourism in the country. It can be developed as a spot for ecotourism , orchid sanctuary and as a natural research laboratory due to its diverse vegetation and climate. The study based on primary data from 80 respondents: 35 local people, 20 hotel owners and 25 tourists has revealed that there is great potentiality of ecotourism and essentially of environmental conservation foe the sustainable income from tourism sector. To maintain the tourism business with future prospect the values and principles such as ‘Take only photographs leave only foot prints’ are essential to apply. The existed beauty of the place such heart- touching Himalayan ranges, cool fresh air, wide coverage on natural forest, orchid sanctuary is the key elements of ecotourism potentiality in this area. The study has found that tourists came to Panchase , 35 percent for sightseeing, natural resources 15 percent, cultural diversity 10 percent, pleasure environment and natural resources 11 percent, pleasure environment and people sanitation 8 percent, pleasure environment and cultural diversity 12 percent and others 9 percent for convention purpose. Open grazing is the major threats to the conservation of Panchase Regenerations of medicinal plants, which are mainly herbs, is severely affected by transhumance, fodder practices also render the natural growth of forest. The intensity of human impact is so immense that the forest near the settlement has transformed in shrub and bushy areas. Southern part of Panchase hill adjacent to Kaule, within altitude of 1850meter is completely denuded. Timber plants like Arupate and Champ are in verge of extinction. various medicinal plants are found on the forest of Panchase as Chiraito, Satuwa, Kurilo, Majithho, Vyakur, Lauth Salla etc. NTFPs like Daphne, Molo, Allo, Nigalo etc. holds good prospects for the establishment of small scale forest based micro enterprise. Inspite of huge potentiality of tourism in general and ecotourism in particular there are various constraints like poor transportation and communication facilities, poor recreational facilities, a limited season, lack of trained manpower, lack of marketing, poor solid waste management system limited number of educated people. Despite some constraints the future of ecotourism in Panchase is found to be very optimistic and relies heavily on who is responsible for marketing, setting the planning, initiating entry fees involving the locals and establishing the infrastructures. Conservations of cultural heritage, instruments rituals and getting further attention to develop it for pilgrimage tourists .Similarly, proper government plans and policies must be implemented to enhance the status of the Eco-tourism in Panchase.Item Economic and Socio-Cultural Impacts of Tourism in Bhaktapur District(Central Department of Rural Development, 2011) Ghaju, SushilaThis study was mainly focused on impacts of tourism in Bhaktapur district regarding the economic and socio-cultural aspects adopting simple random sampling and exploratory as well as descriptive research design. Where various respondents are included. 25 local people 10 tourists and 10 entrepreneurs are selected through sampling method. This study attempts to analyze the severity of socio-cultural degradation due to tourism in Bhaktapur. For convenience four major areas viz. Durbar square ,Taumadhi square, Dattatraya square, Pottary square were selected with special reference to BhaktapurThe analysis was made by collecting primary and secondary data. Mainly primary data were used from the field survey to provide the qualitative and quantitative analysis. In qualitative study,10 respondents were taken for Focus Group Discussion and for the key information the local people, Tourist guide, Students, Teacher, Businessman, Staffs of BTDC and BM were used. Apart from this, photographs were also taken as an important methodology research tool. The tourism industry has both its pros and cons but the main problem lies in explaining which one is greater; the negative aspects or the positive ones. Especially in a culturally significant area like Bhaktapur it is difficult to infer if tourism degrades the culture of revitalizes it. There is no doubt that tourism has both negative and positive impacts. Definitely it affects the cultural and social setting of a native society. Thus, the fieldwork was conducted to fulfill different objectives among which identifying the major impacts of tourism in society and culture was the important one. Even though the social attributes and the way of the lifestyle of locals are changing day by day, tourism has also helped in the revitalization of the arts and crafts as well as the customs along with providing employment to the locals of Bhaktapur. Although things seem to be remarkably beneficial as long as it concerns the economic aspects of tourism in Bhaktapur, it becomes a bit problematic when it comes to the socio-cultural aspects.The positive and negative impacts on society and culture are in no way mutually exclusive,besides,one can not easily determne which one overweights the other.It is also true that culture has been degrading as the flow of tourists have risen in Bkt,so,both positive and negative impacts co-exist and it is difficult to determine which one is greater.If the economic impacts are also taken into consideration along with cultural revitalization then definitely the significance of tourism becomes positive.A look at the study there is no doubt that Bhaktapuris guided by tourism and tourism on the other hand is boosting up because of cultural heritage. Hence it can be inferred that culture and tourism have reciprocal relationship and tourism may involve in the degradation of culture as well as its revitalization.So,for all in all both tourism and culture have to run the wheel of each other.Item Economic Development of the People of Neighbour VDC Along with Lumbini Development Trust A Case Study of Lumbini(Faculty of Economics, 2012) Neupane (Paudel), SumitraNepal is the country of multi tourism spots.

Gradually,all the tourism activities of old trekking routecollapsed and the place became isolated and deserted. They have been forced and compelled toreturntoone and only agricultural activity, which was their old livelihood strategy. Before the construction of MCC, in Manakamana, Aambukhaireni trekking route, largenumbers of local people performed the activities like agriculture, animal husbandry, wagelabour, horticulture etc. but they were almost tourism oriented. After the construction of MCC,these sorts of activities have been reduced significantly. The production of major crops andbusiness activities has been reduced after the construction of MCC. The major causes are lowinvestment in agriculture and decline in tourism related activities. Likewise, the numbers of major domestic animal as well as their production have beenreduced after the construction of MCC. Similarly, fruit production has been declined andwhatever the local people would produce it would not get the proper market and reasonableprice.Employment opportunities for the local people in the hotel, lodge, restaurant, teashop,souvenir shop etc. were also missing due to the MCC.

Ghandruk VDC has been an important place since the distant past. Which is one the unique rural tourism destination and culturally rich and naturally beautiful land of wonderful indigenous people, the Gurung. Ghandruk has good potentially of tourism development. There are lots of tourism resources. Some resources are not explored yet. Tourism has been found beneficial as well as necessary in the area. It has been experiences, that tourism is only one viable sector. This can help to alleviate poverty from this area. Positive impacts of tourism are found in the economy of the people, which proves that tourism has given some economics opportunities, farmers have got market to their farm products, ancient art and culture which are about to vanish started reviving, local people started getting more facilities from infrastructural development, tourist arrival is getting increased every year which are good signals. Negative impacts of tourism are found on environment: pollution, waste management and sanitation problems. Which are increasing? Price has hiked on all commodities; daily life has become more expensive. People are being dependent on tourism so collapse of tourism industry may take them to a zero level position, influence and imitation of western style is increasing especially on young generation they are more individualistic and materialistic. The benefit of tourism is not equally distributed, a few groups are being able to take more advantage, however lower class people are not being able to take more benefits. Finally we recommended that Ghandruk has wide tourism potentially, the main activities of Ghandruk for tourist is trekking and mountaineering, pleasure and peaceful environment. It has been observed that village tourism can be panacea for the rural development of Nepal for the case of Ghandruk has proven it but we have to keep our eyes open to curb its negative impacts. The literacy rate of Ghandruk VDC is 51%. Among them 54.71% of total population are Gurung communities in Ghandruk VDC. There is a great flow of tourists mainly from European and America. 21-30 years group is the dominant group of tourists. The major means of transportation in Ghandruk VDC are mules. The way of mules and tourists is the same. So, we can see negative impact in environment due to the dung of mules. Ghandruk VDC is especially famous for trekking, mountaineering, Gurung Culture, historical goods and handcrafts.Item Importance of Religious Places for Tourism Special Reference to Khaptad(Faculty of Management, Lumbini Banijya Campus, Butwal, 2010) Khanal, Prem NarayanNot AvailbleItem The Influence of Tourism on Environment and Livelihood A Case of Phewa Lakeside Area,Pokhara(Faculty of Sociology, 2010) Lamichhane, Bhadrakalinot availableItem Mountain Tourism in Nepal (A Case Study of Langtang Rastriya Nikunja, Rasuwa)(Central Departmental of Rural Development, 2011) Acharya, RajeshThis thesis entitled “ Mountain Tourism in Nepal( a case study of Langtang Rastriya Nikunja ,Rasuwa “ is divided in six different chapters and concentrated on socio economic contribution of tourists in Langtang and identify the strengths and weakness of tourism industries in Langtang national park and its nearby area as well as socio-economic impact tourism in Langtang .
