K. C. Anup, Jeffrey C. Hallo, Lauren N. Duffy, Aby Sene-Harper, Brijesh Thapa

Summary: Despite the negative impact of COVID-19, community-based homestay facilities continue to play a vital role in sustaining rural livelihood. This study conducted online interviews with homestay owners, coordinators, and policymakers throughout Nepal to assess the potential, challenges, and policies regarding domestic tourism in CBHs. The findings revealed that CBHs initially focused on attracting domestic guests due to the high potential of domestic tourism during international travel restrictions. Domestic guests consider homestays as a place to learn about local culture and enjoy traditional food and hospitality. However, the number of guests has decreased primarily due to COVID-19 and secondarily due to road problems, tourism attractions, and publicity issues. Policy measures such as providing special weekend leave, official homestay visits for government employees, and promotional offers are recommended to attract domestic guests.
