Abstract
This research explores emerging concepts of tourism education, training, and entrepreneurship development. Nowadays, the discourses on this theme have been growing in both developed and developing countries, especially to reduce unemployment rates through the education of young people. For this purpose, this study uses secondary data sources to analyze individual rationality and the creativity of educated young people for entrepreneurship development in the business sector. The analytical framework begins from the investigation of the tourism industry and the processes for empowering those people since tourism industry is considered as one of the agents of economic changes in developing countries, such as Nepal. However, skilled and trained manpower are required to operate well. The main theme of this study is that the aforesaid manpower can be developed with entrepreneurship skills by providing education and training in this business. This study entirely agrees that once the tourism industry is well run by removing the hurdles seen in this sector, there would be an increase in employment opportunities and a raise in the country’s revenue in addition to solving many other social problems.
