Tourist Related Accidents and Safety Policy in the Tourism Industry of Nepal.

In Nepal, the tourism sector has become an important part of the country's economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. With its rich cultural heritage and natural attractions including the Himalayas, Nepal attracts a lot of tourists, especially for trekking and spiritual activities but so the increasing number of tourism related accidents poses huge challenges especially in road trips and adventure sports. Studies show that tourism related accidents in Nepal are influenced by factors such as poor-quality materials, negligence of drivers, and inadequate safety measures Adventure activities like trekking and rafting, combined with safety precautions the mismatch further increases the risk of disaster. Nepal has made progress in addressing these issues through policy implementation, such as improving road safety and promoting digital safety initiatives. Nevertheless, the implementation of these programs remains inconsistent, especially in remote areas. Security challenges in the tourism sector require comprehensive approaches including sound security measures, infrastructure development and digital integration and vulnerability to natural hazards Effective management of these risks is required greatly to ensure sustainable development of tourism in Nepal.
