CHAPTER-02 Definition of Developing Country A developing country, also known as a less-developed country (OLD), is a nation with a low living standard, undeveloped industrial base, and low Human Development Index (HID) relative to other countries there is no established convention for the designation of “ developed” and “ developing” countries or areas.
The designations “ developed” and “ developing” are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a Judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process The development of a country is measured with statistical indexes such as income per capita (per person) (gross domestic reduce), life expectancy, the rate of literacy, et cetera. Developing countries are in general countries which have not achieved a significant degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and which have, in most cases a medium to low standard of living.
There is a strong correlation between low income and high population growth. Nepal-A Developing Country: Nepal is a developing country. Napalm’s real GAP growth is expected to be 3. 7% and 4% in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Exports growth will initially decline to 5.
6% and then rise to 7. 3% in 2012. Meanwhile, imports growth will decline to 6. % and then increase to 6. 9% in 2012.
Both exports and imports (as a share of GAP) are expected to decline in 2012. Exports are expected to be 11% of GAP and 9. 9% of GAP in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

NEPAL TOURISM YEAR-2011 : PLANS AND PROGRAMMED As Nepal began one the most important political changes in its modern history, by declaring Nepal as federal democratic republic, it is passing through a difficult phase of transition and transformation. Coming on the heels of monumental changes in the country, the Government of Nepal is making various endeavors for the sustainable development AT Nepal The Government of Nepal has officially declared the year 2011, as Nepal Tourism
Year, which has been a priority plan of the government, aiming at uplifting the quality of products and services offered to visitors. The declaration of Nepal Tourism Year is a planned ambition of the Naples Government to bring in one million visitors to Nepal. The campaign of Nepal Tourism Year will have nation-wide awareness and far-reaching impact.
Major Tourism Strategy of Naples Government under Different Five-Year Plans (1). Tourism Nepal has made a policy of five years mission for their tourism.
It includes where they have to give emphasize and where to develop. For this they are vying incentives and priority in different sectors. Those plans are given below: development process was started in Nepal through a strategy of First Five Years’ Development Plan (1956-61) in 1956.
During the plan period Nepal acquired membership of different tourist organizations. Upon the request of Naples government two tourism advisors Mr.. George Libber from France and Dry. A. Lath from Switzerland came to Nepal to develop tourism in a planned manner.
During the First Five Year Plan (1956-61), the government for the first time decided to form the Nepal Tourist Development Board (. NET) in 1957. Naples Government set up Nepal Industrial Development Corporation (MIND) in 1959 to provide both technical and modernization of industrial projects in private sector. (2). Forth Five Year Development Plan (1970-75) was different from the earlier three plans. During this plan period a major breakthrough was made in the form of formulating the first tourism master plan in 1972.
This master plan was the outcome of Joint cooperation of Federal Republic of Germany. “ Its emphasis was on developing qualitative tourism and projecting Nepal as a destination of its own merits called for a sustained and concerted effort on the part of the government and the private sector). The Master Plan made an attempt to separate tourism into five components, namely: Sight Seeing Tourism, Trekking Tourism, Recreational Tourism, International Pilgrimage and Nepal Brand of Tourism. (3).
The Fifth Five Year Development Plan (1975-80) had the distinction of getting the Ministry to establish basic infrastructure conducive to the promotion and extension of the tourism industry in close cooperation with the public and private sectors; l) to gradually discourage the use of imported goods and to encourage the use of domestic products in the tourist industry; II) to provide employment opportunities o the maximum number of people by engaging indigenous skills and technology; Ill) to further increase the contribution made by tourism in the national economy Thus, the Fifth Plan tried to follow the marks of the Master Plan (1972) nonetheless the plan should be credited for linking the growth of tourism sector with foreign exchange earnings and thereby growth of the economy, employment generation and self-sufficiency.
(4). The Seventh Five Year Development Plan (1985-90) is an important one as it made efforts to insert in its list of aims and objectives such issues that were not hitherto undertaken. To improve the balance of payments situation through increased foreign exchange earnings by attracting the upper-class tourists. It) To generate new opportunities of employment by enhancing tourist related business and by stressing their capacity utilization. Iii) To increase the duration of stay of tourists and to ensure a wider distribution of tourists generated income by expanding the tourism related activities and business to those areas which have the necessary infrastructure.
‘ v) To produce to the maximum possible extent, goods consumed and utilized by the tourism sector domestically to reduce imports and to encourage domestic industries. (5. ).
The Ninth Five Year Development Plan (1997-2002) has noted that the Eight Plan targets of tourist arrivals could not be achieved. There lied a gap of 10 % between the target and achievement. However, in terms of foreign currency received the target could not be realized in the first two years of the Eighth Plan but in the remaining three years it was compensated.
(6). The Tenth Plan not only aimed to use tourism for economic growth and favorable balance of payments, but also as an important instrument of poverty reduction by increasing employment opportunities directly and indirectly in urban as well as rural areas, particularly in the hills and mountain areas along trekking trails and tourism sites. And this is where the decline of tourism hurts the most.
