Sagarmatha National Park (Mount Everest) Visitor Survey and Analysis (Everest Visitor Survey)

A visitor survey of Sagarmatha National Park (Mount Everest) revealed that six countries—UK, US, Germany, Japan, France, and Australia—account for over 50% of visitors, with an average stay of 15 days. The study highlighted key concerns among tourists, including inadequate toilet facilities, hygiene issues, water quality, and waste management. Additionally, 14% of respondents had previously visited the park, suggesting a potential repeat visitation trend. These findings provide actionable insights for park management, which have been integrated into system dynamics models to assess potential improvements.
