Abstract

The study was conducted during the period from December 2020 to May 2021 in the Gharapjhong Rural Municipality of Mustang district in Nepal. Both primary and secondary data have been used in this study. Secondary literatures were received from various sources such as published reports, papers, thesis, database, and manuals. And, primary data were collected from the field observation, in-depth interview, focus group discussion and questionnaire survey. The study found that sustainable transportation network is essential to enhance tourism development in Mustang District. Furthermore, insufficient agricultural product, and lack of exploration of tourist sites is affecting tourism growth. Similarly, inadequate awareness among the people of the society, improper sanitation system, inadequate investment from the private sectors, unfavourable weather condition, and weak and fragile soil are the problems for development of trade and tourism. Similarly, inadequate local tourist guides, inadequate schools and health facilities, as well as incompetent representatives are also the key factors for the development of tourism industry. This study would like to suggest that the construction of adequate road network, capacity building and skill development trainings in the tourism sector should be enhanced. Similarly, sufficient advertisement on tourism area should be managed, adequate exploration of tourist sites should be conducted, and local agricultural productivity should be increased along with provision of adequate educational and health institutions, proper water and sanitation facility should be available and adequate tourist guides should be trained.
