Similarly, in a 22 March 1994 speech by Comrade Rohit party leader of the Nepali Workers and Peasants Party, "The Importance of Art and Culture": "Art and culture is our legend of glory and pride. Because of that reason, tourism has fostered in our country. The Tourism industry comes second or third position in early badly needed hard currency."
