Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the state of the tourism industry in South Asian nations. This study aims to examine the tourism potentials of South Asian countries, as well as the vulnerabilities and strengths of this industry. For analysis, the available literature was reviewed. According to the results, this region has the potential to attract both regional and international spiritual tourists. Researchers have identified a number of negative aspects, including inadequate transportation, infrastructure, service facilities, and untrained tourist personnel. To promote interregional tourism, it is necessary to revise visa and passport policies.
