But how this small country gained so much tourism?
History behind flourishing tourism
Did you know that tourism in Bhutan was just half a century old?
The country was opened to foreign travellers in 1974 with less arrival of tourist. The government was promoting a low number of tourists by not harming the local environment and culture. Till 1983 when Paro airport started having regular flights, the tourist population was just 1500! Wasn’t it too less?
However, over the years Bhutan slowly started gaining its tourism and at present, the number has increased to 2,50,000 approx!
Concern towards nature and beauty
Bhutanese are very much aware of their nature and in maintaining its beauty!
- People of Bhutan use cotton bags instead of plastic bags
- They say ‘NO’ to tobacco by banning its production
Unique Bhutanese festival
Buddhism was originally introduced to Bhutan by Padmasambhava in the 8th century. So to commemorate that, Bhutan’s 20 districts celebrate their own different annual festivals.
Some of the best festivals listed:
- Thimphu Tshechu
- Paro Tshechu
- Haa Summer Festival
- Thangbi Mani festival
- Tamzhing Phala Choepa Festival
Now, let’s get spicy for a moment!
Bhutanese cuisine is rightly known for its spiciness. Most of them do not like it if it is not spicy. Rice and Chilies are the main ingredients with other side dishes to add some more flavour to it.
