Urban Tourism and Theatres in Nepal

Introduction

Tourism defined as travel to a place outside the usual residential environment, involving a stay of at least one night but no more than 1 year, with varying motivations, such as business, pleasure, visits to friends and relatives (VFR), and education. It is one of the world's largest industries. Tourism has long been of interest to geographers, given its spatial, temporal, and activity patterns and given its major economic and environmental impacts, ranging from the local to the global. In this research, the history of theatre tourism in Nepal will be looked into detail. The government policies of Nepal to promote theatre tourism also discussed in this research.

Often when we talk about tourism never distinguish the word of its different meanings, is more when it comes to tourism with nature or go to churches, museums, spas, among others sometimes confused it whit adventure tourism, and put yourself thinking a moment a one tourist who wants to be at peace whit himself in a jungle whit other fifteen people, is stressful for him. The types of tourism, which are most important and most popular, are:

Food Tourism

Sex Tourism

Theater Tourism

Event Tourism

Sex Tourism (Sex Tourists)

Music Tourism

Shopping Tourism

Discussion

Sustainability has become a ubiquitous feature of leisure, recreation and tourism business and development strategies. Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world, and both contribute to global climate change and impacted by it. Life cycle analysis tools are shedding light on the true environmental cost of tourist travel. In an attempt to reduce energy consumption, carbon emissions, and other forms of environmental pollution, urban regeneration strategies have taken a fresh turn, and have begun to adopt smart growth and sustainable urban design principles (Gossling & Hall, 2006, Pp. 311-312). The embodiment of sustainability in the urban realm raised as an issue by scholars who noticed what Andrew Light called the “urban blind spot” in sustainability and related fields (Light, 2000, Pp. 7-35).

Increasingly, consumption associated with leisure, recreation, and tourism has become a primary economic base for many post-industrial cities throughout the world. For the last three decades, planning for leisure spaces and tourism have become key components of cultural regeneration and branding strategies undertaken by governments eager to attract tourists and high income residents and businesses. In many cities, successful strategies have transformed downtowns into urban entertainment districts, complete with museums, shopping centres, stadiums, and other leisure destinations in an attempt to stimulate consumption. Increasingly, leisure and recreational amenities are key selling points for mixed-use residential developments. Douglas Pearce's work on resort morphology has helped explain the resort's particular urban form and its evolution in response to new recreational demands (Pearce, 1978, Pp. 143-156).

A key model in tourism geography is the tourist-historic city model, which represents the fusion of a tourist city with a historic one (Ashworth & Tunbridge, 2000, Pp. 83-85). This model, which based on medium-sized, older historic cities in Europe, ...
