EXTENDED ABSTRACT
Over the decades, tourism has experienced continued growth and deepening diversification to become one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. Modern tourism is closely linked to development and encompasses growing number of new destinations. These dynamics have turned tourism into a key driver for socio-economic progress (UNWTO, 2015).
With the emergence of the internet, a new type of tourists is emerging: they become their own travel agent and build their travel packages themself (Hannes, 2003). Such tourists have many decisions to make while planning a tour to the

c) The OP (Tsiligirides, 1984) seeks for a tour that maximizes the total collected profit converting travel cost objective into a constraint with an upper bound.
B. MULTIPLE TOUR TTDP VARIANTS: These problems aim at finding multiple tours based upon the number of days the tourist’s visit will last. Multiple tours TTDP variant can be modeled using extension of TSPP to multiple tours known as Vehicle Routing Problem with Profits (VRPP). VRPP is a variant of classical VRP where visiting the whole set of nodes is not compulsory; a profit is collected when visiting a node, while the collection of the profits is distributed over several vehicles with capacity constraint. Known variants of the VRPP are:
a) Team Orienteering Problem (TOP) which is the extension of the OP to multiple tours.
b) Prize-collecting VRP (PCVRP) where the objective is a linear combination of minimizing the total distance traveled, minimizing the vehicles used and maximizing the prizes collected (Tang and Wang,
Problem 3. 6 Machines 8 parts The problem is represents by Table 7. This is multiple route, part volume (and single batch) and sequential CF problem.
Note that in the above equations, the $R_{sp}(b_j)$, $\forall b_j \in B$, $RB^M(u_i)$, $\forall u_i \in U$, and $RB^S(u_i)$, $\forall u_i \in U$, are unknown variables. The objective function of the above formulation is to maximize the estimated total amount of data, i.e., to maximize the network throughput. The constraint C1 restricts the split data rate $R_{sp}(b_j)$, $\forall b_j \in B^C$, should be less than $b_j$'s input data rate $R_{in}(b_j)$. The C2 demands that the $D^M_p(u_i)$ cannot be larger than the summation of (i) UE $u_i$'s input data volume at MeNB in the upcoming $I_t$, i.e., $R_{agg}^M(u_i) \times I_t$ and (ii) the remaining data located at MeNB $D_r^M(u_i)$. The C3 restricts the $D^S_p(u_i)$ on SeNBs, and the idea is similar

A mission statement is a defining piece of identity for an organization. It shows what an organization stands for, what is at stake and reflects who is invested in the organization. Mission statements serve just as great of a purpose to the community as they do to the organization. It is an organization’s promise to the community and a way to hold themselves accountable within their organization. This paper will discuss possible mission statements, departments necessary as well as positions and job descriptions, an organization reporting chart and discuss outsourced functions.

IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH A TOURISM ATTRACTION Introduction Tourism has experienced continued growth and extensive diversification and competition on the last decades, becoming one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world and by consequence, one of the main income sources for many developing countries. “Every time we travel we are part of a global movement that has the power to drive inclusive development, to create jobs and to build the sustainable societies we want for our future,” says the actual UNWTO¹ Secretary General, Taleb Rifai. “This movement also contributes to build mutual understanding and to safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage,” he completes. A sustainable and responsible approach to tourism means that neither the natural environment nor the socio-cultural organisation of the host communities would be compromised by the arrival of tourists.
G. (2011) “is a degree which one has to be physically present and involved in order to produce the experience”. This means the tour guides are unable to determine the level of involvement of its tourist, this will be all dependent on the involved individual. The horizontal axis explains that one tourist may just be a mere spectator and the other may participate into activities that can create a memorable experience. Vertical axis of the model explains the relationship of the clients to its environment - Absorption and Immersion.
DIVERSIFICATION Bring in new vehicles to new markets like India and China is a good choice, but it’s too costly. Bringing new types of recreational vehicles is a best choice. IX) IMPLEMENTATION
A self driving car is a automated vehicle that is designed to travel between destinations without
“Tourism Behaviour understanding includes the idea and knowledge of the different factors which are by no other means very obvious because the effects which do shape the activities and tastes of tourism are often highly embedded in the cultural and the personal biography of the individual that the whole of subject is not known of how actually they were made.” (Seaton, 1996). Figure.1. The tourism system.
Therefore, tourism may be defined as the activities, processes and outcomes by the relationship and interaction among the tourist, government, suppliers of the tourism, the host communities and the environment that surrounding the destination which involved in attracting and accommodating of the visitors (Goeldner & Ritchie, 2009). According to Goelner & Ritchie (2009), there are four different perspectives of tourism can be identified from the tourist, business operator who providing goods and services, government of the host destination area and the local community. The first group is the tourists or visitors. They are the group who search for various travel experiences and satisfaction physically and psychologically.
FROM THE BEGINNING OF 1900 TO OUR DAYS Until the first half of 1900, going on holiday was an experience belonging to a privileged class, something that only few could afford. In the 50s-60s, the economic growth and the evolution of means of transport made going on holiday something accessible to a broader range of the people. Back then, the typical tourists were travelling to the same places, at the same time and to do the same things, because there wasn’t that much choice. This type of tourist had not established preferences, it was predictable, driven by emulation and had not yet manifested any special needs.
Rural development is as important as urban development. Alleviating the hardships of the rural people is fundamental to rural development. Efforts at developing the rural areas are aimed at creating industries and employment opportunities. Any initiative towards this end would be welcomed with open arms in Nepal. This would also reduce the population density in the cities.
The concept brings proofs on how people spend their time, in which areas and for which purposes. (Nash, 1960, cited in Morgan…). As the people spend their time on different activities, one of those activities is tourism. As well as leisure, tourism has many definitions; we will use one of those which reflect main idea. Tourism is a
