Nepal should sign a Swiss concessionaire to turn Base Camp into a tourist destination and build a cable car as high as possible. Charge a lot. Limit the number

Nepal should sign a Swiss concessionaire to turn Base Camp into a tourist destination and build a cable car as high as possible. Charge a lot.
Limit the number of climbing licenses to what the mountain can bear and charge the market-clearing price.
Use part of the profit to keep Everest clean.
Also offer a $1.5 million copter ride to the summit.
Nepal is poor and needs the money, and this would be better for the environment.
