Religious tourism is one of the main contributors to the Nepalese tourism industry. It has
not only generated thousands of jobs but also has been one of the main media to promote
Nepalese culture, lifestyle and traditions. At the same time, it has grown as a strong contributor
to the Nepalese economy. The main aim of this thesis was to point out the impact
of religious tourism on the Nepalese economy, to find out the main factors affecting religious
tourism and to get views of people about the religious tourism.
The research for this thesis was done through collecting secondary data from various
sources and by collecting primary data through online questionnaire survey. A survey
website was used as a tool to collect the primary data while all the respondents were
approached through social media.
The research pointed out the impact of the religious tourism on the Nepalese economy.
Furthermore, the primary data collection results showed travelers’ view about a religious
trip. The amount of money we can expect from the random religious travelers and the
services they look for are some key findings.
