The benefit of tourism reaches into the different aspects of Nepalese life in different forms directly and indirectly. Tourism activities in Nepal are affecting the Nepali life style directly and indirectly. Tourism activities in Nepal are generating not only the employment opportunities but also helping promotion and conservation of Nepalese arts and cultures.

The tourism industry in Nepal is one of the highest foreign currency earners industries in the country.  The tourism industry in Nepal is making a significant contribution to the economy condition of the country. Nepalese population and government of Nepal have realized its importance of tourism in Nepal.

Although there are lots of problem in promoting, marketing and conservation of image of Nepal in the world, the government of Nepal is doing a good job in the tourism sector. However, it was very slowly and unmanaged.

Therefore, in view of all these constraints and challenges to promoting the image of Nepal in the world, the Government and the private sector took an initiative to enhance the image of the tourism industry and improve the yield from tourism by attracting quality visitors. It was felt that a single long-term institutional mechanism could effectively guide Nepal’s tourism industry to meet the challenges of tourism.

Finally, it was felt that the single-most important long-term institutional mechanism would be a successful tool to develop the tourism industries in Nepal. The setting up and implementation of the NTB would solve the problems faced by tourism in Nepal. It was expected that the Board would effectively guide Nepal’s tourism industry to meet the challenges of tourism development. This autonomous board would work towards establishing quality based tourism and project Nepal on the international map as an attractive quality tourism destination. The NTB being an autonomous institution it is considered that it will provide a vision drawn leadership, continuity of efforts and good management. NTB should serve as a model institution and must not reflect the weakness of other prevailing institutions.
