As Bhutan prepares to reopen its borders, it is ramping up its ‘high value, low volume’ tourism policy. Bhutan opens to tourists for the first time in over two years on September 23.
Foreign visitors will now have to pay a $200 daily fee, which is three times the pre-Covid rate, although they no longer need to book a package tour.
Bhutan is rebranding itself as an ‘exclusive destination ‘while ‘keeping carbon footprints low,’ said Dr. Tandi Dorji, Bhutan’s foreign minister and chair of the Tourism Council of Bhutan.
