SUPPORT THE NEEDY to witness these practices . However , as modernization has taken over the world these cultural practices and traditions are slowly losing their value . Commercialization has taken over most parts of the cities resulting in the abandonment of the Nepalese cultural heritage . Lack of proper management by the concerned authorities have also resulted in many temples and medieval structures being left to rot under the rubbles of modern buildings .
But there ’ s still hope as efforts are being made to revive these old architectural buildings along with the preservation of Nepali culture . Restoration of old medieval structures is ongoing with the aim of making it sustain for the long run . Similarly , involvement of youths in age old cultural
practices is another step that has been taken to prevent the culture from dying out . Another such alternative for these preservation efforts is the establishment of homestays in different communities .
Establishing homestays in a community is a great initiative in terms of cultural preservation ; especially in a country like Nepal , which is so reliant on the tourism industry for its economic growth . The impacts of commercial tourism has become evident over the years with businesses aiming to expand their operations without any regard for the local communities and its surroundings . Exploitation of resources , dying cultures , vandalism ( in extreme cases ), overcrowded destinations and pollution , are some of the negative impacts that commercial tourism can have in a society .
