TUDE strongly believes that in today’s world where whole earth is considered as global village. Tourism is that tool which can, not only generate economy and offer employment opportunities but also helps in environmental conservation of the area as well as helps in keeping social integrity and takes societies towards better tomorrow. It’s easier to say than done. This applies here as well. Even though Nepal with vast natural resources, flora and fauna, cultural & social heritage is not able to reap the fruits of tourism in better ways. In fact the tourism in Nepal is just spread in small number in small area of the country and centered on few major areas. Where as other parts of country’s tourism prospects are either negated or unnoticed or not well documented. To promote these destinations lot of paper planning, researches, infrastructures, and trainings is needed. TUDE believes that if these opportunities are expanded, Nepal will be prime holidays destination in the world. TUDE with the support from youth will not only promote the destination but give emphasis on eco-tourism, rural and village tourism. This will enhance the entrepreneurship capacity of the rural people of certain destination which will then impact regional as well as national economy. As a matter of fact TUDE will be responsible for bridging the gap between rural tourism entrepreneurs and national policy maker. It will have cost-benefit analysis of human exploitation of resources of the explored destinations. This will further help in natural disaster mitigation and sustainable development of environment. Here many questions may arise: is this possible? How can we do this? Who will do this? What I have to do? Is
