A novel approach to tourist growth in Nepal is homestays, which offer an extraordinary chance to experience, share, and perceive the various rural lifestyles, customs, and cultures. The ability of the homestay program to alleviate concerns about poverty is a source of satisfaction for travelers worldwide. However, other people, particularly those who focus more on income poverty, claim that homestay tourism can aid in reducing poverty. Homestay tourism, regarded as one of the critical economic drivers, aids the empowerment of local communities by conserving their magnificent culture. The income of impoverished rural people can also get viewed as a result of the good indirect influence and induced homestay tourism.
