Destination: The Lumbini Garden
Destination is a central object in the tourism. It is the item that exerts a pull on the tourists from
different areas. It is the one that motivates tourist to travel. Therefore the secret of destination is
of prime importance that should never be undermined. First of all in tourism related studies a
detailed listing of all resources which have some connection with tourism should be carried out.
This is called Tourism resource audit (Clarke & Godfrey, 2000: 72). Such a resource inventory
should include the following: What could a visitor see in this area which might be of interest?;
What are the different types of attractions they could visit?; What types of services would they
require?; What different activities could they do during their stay?; If staying overnight, what
accommodations are available? etc.
