It has been a pleasure to have read through this book prepared by the Janaki Prasad Parajuli, someone I have known for many years. In my opinion Janaki has a very special way when it comes to tourism, his attention to detail and his organisational skills are exemplary.

It is packed with information for those already working in tourism or for those thinking about visiting or interested in learning more about Nepal. This book is not only easy to follow, but will enrich and stimulate the reader.

Researchers, professionals of travel and tourism, career-oriented candidates, tourism and travel students and all other interested individuals will find the book of great value when applying the skills generated in the practical field.

There are some very good books written along similar lines, few contain the diversity of topics and detail to be found on the following pages. I will certainly refer this book on to friends and colleagues.
