14. Impact of Global crises in Tourism
Industry in Nepal
Historically, Nepal's tourism sector has been a success story.
However, from 2007 to 2008, the country experienced a sharp decline
due to the onset of a global recession and regional instability.
 Geography
Nepal is a landlocked country between China and India. The natural
landscape consists of valleys and plains in the south and the awe-
inspiring Himalayan Mountains in the north.
 Statistics
From 2007 to 2008, Nepal's tourism declined by five
percent, compared to an increase of 37.2 percent from 2006 to 2007.
The majority of this decline was in cultural travel; there was actually an
increase in the trekking and mountaineering sector.

15. Impact of Global crises in Tourism
Industry in Nepal
 Economic Significance
According to the 2008 Annual Report of Nepal Tourism Statistics, there
was a 52.6 percent increase in tourism revenue from 2007 to 2008.
Revenue increased from approximately $231 million to $352
million, respectively.
 Effect of a Global Recession
Nepal's tourism department attributes the decline to the global recession.
However, economic indicators demonstrate that those who can afford to
visit are spending more money in Nepal's tourism sector.
 Regional Instability
Another contributing factor to the decline in Nepal's tourism was a civil war
with Maoist rebels and the Nepalese government. While the war has
ended, continued fighting between political regimes occasionally prevents
international travel into Nepal
