 A short appraise
Tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in business world. Nowadays students are occupying a
most important part of tourism sector. Every single year thousands of International students are going
abroad to pursue their higher studies. Their main objective is to achieve a higher degree as well as some
of them would like to settle down or want to get good job over there. Generally the young aged people
who are students are very adventurous and they have a tendency for travelling during semester breaks
with their friends for the purpose of having fun and exploring new places. So this report investigates
their behavior as tourists while studying.

Tourism is not only important economic sources of foreign currency but also a major employment
generator. By the medium of tourism people, can exchange knowledge and create understanding among
the people of the world.
 Purpose of the Research
The purpose of this research is to find out the tourism activity of international student.
International students are going abroad to pursue their higher studies instead of visiting so
many countries because when a person wants to visit a country large amount of money and
time is being wasted, rather a student can easily visits a country and along with this they can
carry on their further studies. Based on this research, we can apperceive the international
students tourism behaviors on the other-hand some issues or factors rises which are obstacle
for the international student tourism activity.
 Scope And Limitations Of the
Study
This research have some scope and limitations because of this research based on the
international students in different countries, that is why we cannot go there physically and took
interview from them so that information collection source was very limited. First of all it was
not possible for us to collect the information from everyone by face to face interview rather we
had to accumulate these via Imo, Viber, Face book and Email, though we have tried to
use a large number of sample it would be better if we could increase our sample size

We collected information through these channel. The biggest limitation in research was limited
possibilities to reach international students. We are new in the field so we have not enough
money to go different countries, so we can say that we have lack of money & lack of group
members for collecting information. Moreover as we are not experienced researcher there may
have lack of research acumens. If we got all above facilities then we could gather more
information about our topic.

 Suggestions and Recommendation
There are few observations from this survey and following suggestions can be offered:

1. Survey must give the correct information.

2. Ensure separate process for student visa in every country so that students become more
interested to travel.

3. Many students might not be able to travel frequently for shortage of money, so for student
travelers discount rate and sponsorship should be arranged.

4. Ensure tourist security at every country.

5. Develop more activities at tourist spots considering students in mind.

6. Students are the future generation of every country the more they will travel, the more they will
learn, as a result Universities should arrange more frequent study tour for students with major
investment by the Universities.
