Celebrating 50 Years of Bhutan Tourism: A Journey of Discovery and Wonder
This year marks a remarkable milestone in the history of Bhutan—a celebration of 50 years since we first opened our doors to the global community. In 1974, Bhutan embarked on a visionary journey to introduce the world to its unique culture and pristine landscapes, while steadfastly committing to sustainable and responsible tourism.
As we commemorate this golden anniversary, it is a moment of reflection on how far we have come and the path we envision for the future. Bhutan’s approach to tourism, guided by our philosophy of Gross National Happiness, has always been about creating deep, meaningful experiences that respect our natural environment and promote the well-being of our people and our visitors.
Throughout these five decades, tourism has played a pivotal role in Bhutan’s development, supporting local economies, preserving our rich cultural heritage, and fostering a deeper understanding among people from different corners of the world. Our commitment to limiting the number of tourists has helped maintain the enchantment and sanctity of our land, making every visit a rare and precious experience.
These efforts ensure that we continue to balance economic growth with ecological and cultural preservation. We also celebrate the strong spirit of our community—the artisans, guides, hospitality workers, and many others who are the backbone of Bhutan’s tourism industry.
As we look to the future, Bhutan is excited to welcome the next generation of travellers. We are ready to share our serene landscapes, our ancient monasteries, and our vibrant festivals that are not just spectacles but a way of life. More so, we invite you to join us in this celebration of not just a place but a feeling—a sense of peace and contentment that stays with you long after you leave.
Here’s to another 50 years of progress and innovation as we warmly welcome the world to Bhutan, safeguarding our traditions while embracing the opportunities of tomorrow.
