Homestays have emerged as a popular form of accommodation in various tourist destinations
worldwide. They offer a unique experience for travellers by providing an opportunity to stay
with local families and immerse themselves in the local culture and lifestyle. Homestays also
have the potential to generate significant socio-economic benefits for host families and the
surrounding communities. This research paper aims to delve into the socio-economic aspects
of homestay operators in Sillery Gaon, a picturesque village located in the Kalimpong
District of West Bengal, India. I would like to convey my deep and sincere gratitude towards my supervisor, Mr. Phu
Tshering Sherpa, for providing me with his time and effort, and for always being available
for my problems throughout the work. His valuable guidance, support and suggestions have
helped me in the successful completion of this study. It was a great privilege and honour for
me to work under his guidance.
I also extend my sincere appreciation to the Department of Economics for providing me with
an opportunity to explore the arena of research. I am also grateful to the other teachers of my
department for being a constant source of support and inspiration for me throughout my
study. I express my gratitude to Mr. Bickey Sharma, Mr. Samuel Tamang, Ms. Rakchanda
Chettri and Fr. C.M. Paul for creating a supportive academic environment, which was crucial
during the study.

My ancestors on both sides came from India and China in the 17th/20th centuries as indentured laborers or in search of jobs. They had little education but worked hard as planters, plowmen, bread sellers to provide for their large families of 7-13 children. The grandparents on both sides prioritized education, working to send all their children to primary school and some to secondary/university. This enabled my parents' generation to pursue further education and careers. My father worked from a young age in farms and fishing before starting his own successful business with my mother's support. They had 4 children and emphasized education to enable future opportunities.Epc oral presentation (1)

- 2. The coffee table book talks about food culture, Kopitiam. I went to 5 places around Kuala Lumpur and Bandar Sunway and took all the pictures necessary. In the book, I explained about Kopitiams origin, culture, architecture and art. The culture of using round tables, plastic utilities, usage of red, food and etc. The architecture all Kopitiam have like the usage of old-fashioned tiles, counters and even the usage of scrolls and Chinese letters as art have been documented in the book. Photography Style 1. Candid Portrait A candid portrait is taken without a subject expecting or acknowledging the photographer. This style used in photo journalism, travel photography, street photography and event photography. As opposed to an environmental portrait this image is captured at the moment rather than set up. 2. Lifestyle Portrait The term Lifestyle Portrait refers to portraits where emphasis is given to suggest the style of living of the individuals depicted. Technically it is a combination of environmental portrait and candid portrait. More weight is given to communicate the feeling of life experience of the subject. Style has numerous implications in commercial and fine art photography. Editorial, fashion, pharmaceutical, and food industries often use lifestyle images to evoke emotions in viewers by depiction of desired life styles.
