For instance, the tourist store owner, Kesab Hada, simply said that, "tourists are those who come to visit. Either domestic or international. There are many subcategories" (personal interview, 5 May 1999).

They ask, ŒWhere is it?¹ ŒHow far is it?¹ ŒHow many kilometers?¹ Even people from Kathmandu are tourists who do not know about Bhaktapur" (personal interview, 11 May 1999).
