This book explores the role of tourism in the expression of nationalism in Nepal. It collects Nepalese images, logos and symbols in representations and stories of Nepalese travelers and diaspora visitors to show how they express nationalism and instigate strong feelings of national feeling and belonging. The book indicates that the tourist places in Nepal provide a place to express the nation, first through internal writing, that is, building identity by citizens with the nation; and second, by enhancing the distinctive tourist identity by emphasizing national uniqueness and distinguishing the nation within the larger international community.
In view of recent great political changes, post-conflict reconstruction and development, Nepal is presenting a remarkable case study on the role of tourism and nationalism. This book will be of great importance to students, researchers and professionals working in the field of tourism and heritage, sociology, anthropology, geography, political science, and regional studies, as well as those interested in studying developing societies.
