In 2024, the Kingdom of Bhutan celebrates the 50th anniversary of opening its borders to international tourists. Since 1974, Bhutan has embraced sustainable tourism, focusing on cultural preservation and environmental conservation through its high-value, low-impact tourism policy. The government regulates tourism with a daily tariff covering accommodation, meals, transportation, and a contribution to Bhutan's development fund, ensuring direct benefits to local communities.
Located in the heart of the Himalayas between India and China, Bhutan, known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon, is a landlocked country bordered by India to the south, east, and west, and by China to the north.
