It shows how air transportation is the main means of transportation in Nepal and connects international tourists to the region. This report is based on Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The airport is the only international airport in the country. The tourism industry plays a vital role in the development of Nepal.
The research method used was a secondary data analysis. The secondary data was collected from publications, annual reports provided by the Governing body of Nepal. The main idea behind the choice of secondary data was to use official data gathered by the tourism authority of Nepal. The statistics used in this thesis were collected from Ministry of Culture and Aviation Nepal (MOTCA) and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).
This thesis was done to emphasize the relationship between aviation and its different kinds of impact upon Nepal and its development. This thesis also revealed the importance of the country’s single international airport, Tribhuvan International Airport. The report showed the role and importance of aviation for the tourism industry. Development of tourism
would never have been the same without air transportation. Even though air transportation is not at the level of the required standard, it provides a convenient and safe way to get into the country.
