Prospectus of Nepal Tourism Year 2011
Nepal is going to organize a festival called "tourism year 2011" with the slogan "naturally Nepal once is not enough"
The natural scenery, high mountains, incomparable cultural heritage and numerous specialties have made Nepal a well-known destination in the world tourism map with a distinct image of its own. However, the development of tourism is limited in number and within the certain areas of the country only. The new government has shown greater concerns about the real value of tourism and its role in contributing to economic growth, poverty alleviation, equity and overall tourism development in the country.
Therefore, the government is placing high priority on the tourism sector in its new economic development policy. As there is a favorable political situation in the country, the government is all geared towards economic revolution in next 10 years for the up-liftment of the masses. In this connection, government of Nepal in consultation with Nepalese Tourism Industry, concerned organizations and experts decided to launch a national tourism campaign "Nepal Tourism Year 2011". This announcement reflects the government’s anticipation to bring into at least one million international tourists in Nepal by the year 2011 and spread the benefits of tourism to the people at large. The national campaign also indicates the tourism industry’s exigency to organize a tourism promotion campaign having wider impact.
With the glittering badge of adventure destination and the adage “Atithi Devo Bhava” (Guests are Gods) that reflects "Atithi Satkar, Nepaliko Sanskar" (Hospitality is Nepalese culture) deeply rooted in our culture, the tourism products of Nepal never cease to mesmerize the visitors. The cultural, geographical, ethnic and bio-diversities of the country allure international visitors to Nepal time and again which truly substantiates the spirit of Nepal tourism brand; ‘Naturally Nepal, once is not enough !
The concept of Nepal Tourism Year 2011 envisions harnessing these opportunities and strengths and bringing together the commitment of the government, expertise and experiences of the organizations like Nepal Tourism Board, aptitude and dynamism of the private sector and communities for further tourism development in the country. Active involvement of the major political parties, members of the Constitution Assembly and Right groups is always taken into consideration in order to make the campaign inclusive and participatory in modus operandi and effective in result. The campaign will also focus on mobilizing the networks of the Non-Resident Nepalis (NRN) communities, Nepalese diplomatic missions abroad, I/NGOs, airlines, and national and international media. Similarly, friends and well-wishers of Nepal, tourism academicians and celebrities will also be approached in order to highlight the campaign internally as well as internationally. Organizing this is not only focuses to ward development of countrie's economy

Introduction of Tourism
Before gaining anything about tourism lets know the definition of tourism "The sum total of the operation mainly of economic nature, which directly related to the entry, stay and movement foreigners inside and outside a certain country, city or region." the following definition of tourism was defined by Austrian economist Herman Van scheullard.
The word 'tourism' was derived from the French word 'tourisme'. The literal meaning is 'practice of touring and traveling'. It is a new concept and its significance fully realized very recently.
The concept of modern tourism can be dates back to the 19th century and origin of word tourist also can be dates back to 19th century but origin of word 'tourist' can be dates back to 1292 AD. The word 'tourist' was first derived from the word 'tour' and again the word 'tour' was derived from Latin word 'tornus' meaning 'tools for describing a circle or turnus wheel'.
Before developing the concept of tourism people did travel from one place to another but the difference was there was not any such word and pleasure like activity. On that period people used to travel for the purpose of hunting the animals or searching for food, seeking of knowledge, for the pilgrimage etc. Concept of modern tourism was started after the emergence of pleasure travel, which provides satisfaction and fulfills desire and interests of human beings.
