“…Regardless of this, Boer are believed to be relatively disease resistant due to their grazing habit (Skinner, 1972).Better management practices of natural grazing lowers the dose to goats against internal parasites (Greyling, 1990).Habit of tree climbing helps them to be less susceptible to parasite infection occurred in the grass cover (Erasmus, 2000). Being fairly healthy breed, they are resistant to blue tongue, prussic acid poisoning, enterotoxaemia ( pulpy kidney Clostridium perfringes type-D ) and gall-sickness (Hugo, 1968) but kids development is strappingly retarded by internal parasite infection (Erasmus, 2000).During winter and spring Boer are subjected to bule tick infestations (Linognathus africanus) (Fourie et al, 1991). Due to being immune to tuberculosis benefit of utilizing goat milk is that this disease cannot be contracted by humans.…”

There are about 10.25 million goats in Nepal. Most of these are local and adaptive to different ecological zones of Nepal. Despite of big goat population, performance in terms of daily gains were very low as compared to the Boer crossbreeds. The crossbreed Boer goat is a remarkable small-stock ruminant that possesses distinctive qualities enabling it to excel as an efficient production performer. The Boer goats had faster growth rates and were heavier than the indigenous breeds of goats from Nepal. The daily gain of Boer is 80-140 gm/day and Boer crossbreeds is 100-200 gm/day varying with different blood level of Boer crossbreeds. It is early maturing, reaching a mean maximum weight ≈ 62 kg at 3.5 years of age on natural pasture under extensive grazing conditions. Twinning percentage is about 40-50% in the crossbreeds. The indigenous goats of Nepal are subjected to crossbreeding with Boer goats in order to utilize the Boer goat breed as an alternate breed for production and reproduction performances. Boer milk is rich in fat followed by lactose and protein. Dressing percentage is about 56-60 % at the age of full teeth placement. They are resistant to various disease due to better performance of adrenal cortex and high cortisol production. Mortality rate is more for quadruplet and triplet kids. They are the best browsers and used as a controller in bush encroachment. Flexibility in acclimatization and other vital characteristics signified better performance of Boer and their crossbreeds in diverse country like Nepal.

“…WCAD states that sustainable tourism is a tourism development that meets the needs of tourism in the present while not sacrificing the ability to meet their needs in the future. Sustainable tourism aims to improve the life quality of local communities by increasing the benefits and minimising the consequences found in a destination (Hugo, 1998) (Ost, 2009). According to Damanik and Weber (Damanik & Weber, 2006), several requirements must be met to ensure tourism sustainability.…”

Tourism development aims to improve the living standards of the host community. Lumban Suhi-suhi tourist village, located at Pangururan sub-district in Samosir Island, is famous for its handcrafted ulos. However, inadequate tourism facilities regulation has made the area less attractive. Therefore, the concept of environment-based arrangement is proposed to be applied in the village to improve its facilities. The qualitative approach was carried out through observation and interviews. Triangulation method was carried out in analysing the collected data with relevant theories. The concept is eligible to increase visitors as well as to maintain environmental sustainability.Keywords: Tourism Village; Site Arrangement; Sustainable Tourism; Lumban Suhi-suhieISSN: 2398-4295 © 2019.

“…Sustainable tourism also refers to the management structures that are needed to achieve this. It ensures that tourism developments are sustainable in the long term and, wherever possible, help in turn to sustain the areas in which they operate (Hugo, 1998;Shen, Hughey and Simmons, 2008;STN, 2007;Upadhayaya and Sharma, 2010).…”

Tourism is like a two edge sword which has both positive and negative consequences. Such a drift of tourism is found applicable in all destinations big or small, old or new. Nevertheless, the development intervention of new destinations with the sustainable tourism maxim from the very beginning can be much rewarding than a mass tourism induced mature destinations. Ghodaghodi Lake Area (GLA), a new tourist destination in Ghodaghodi Municipality (GM) of Kailali, extending to 2,726 hector of wetland with its designation as a Ramasar site, constitutes immense potential for prosperity through the sustainable tourism operation and management from its existing tourism offerings like lake viewing hiking, trekking, bird watching, and religious tourism activities. In this context, this paper aims to shed light on how a new destination like GLA is embedded with a number of challenges for sustainable tourism issues and what can be its remedy from sustainable tourism perspective. Developed through mix methods (qualitative and quantitative) of research, this paper has embedded its findings with the four progressive theoretical models (advocacy, cautionary, adaptability, and knowledge based platforms) as sustainable tourism. The poorly equipped infrastructures, lack of planned development activities, meager institutional capacity, and inadequate marketing have been pointed out as the drawback. This paper recommends that the formulation of a holistic plan of actions in the form of tourism master plan consisting of a self sustaining revenue model and its sincere application is the bottom-line to address sustainable tourism appliance challenges.
