Most people see tourism as positive because it brings in business, helps renovate the temples, and thereby is a way to develop the city. As Ram Locha Jha said, "Tourism is good for Bhaktapur because the city has lots of cultural heritage. If we can open it up to the tourist industry we can develop the city. But such tourism is not sufficient for development. It will not develop the city by itself" (personal interview, 9 May 1999). And as the historian Lilabhakta Munikarmi said, "Without tourists we could not renovate our temples. It is also good for people because it earns them money. Like the entrance tickets. And when tourists come they have to eat something" (personal interview, 10 June 1999). Durukaji Suwal put this more clearly: " When [tourists] come to Bhaktapur and buy something they leave money. It is good because we donąt have much money" (personal interview, 8 July 1999). And Nani Maiya Prajapati said, "It is good; our ceramics business has grown. Now we donąt have to make big pots. Now we can just make small tourist stuff" (personal interview, 19 June 1999).
