Bhutan’s Eco-Friendly Approach to Tourism

To ensure sustainable tourism and prevent over-tourism, the Department of Tourism has introduced a new Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) of $200 per day, up from $65.
This new Sustainable Development Fee will help fund social programs, infrastructure, and environmental protection and is a testament to Bhutan’s commitment to preserving its unique way of life.
Revisiting the High Value, Low Volume Tourism Philosophy
The recent overhaul of Bhutan’s tourism policies has brought in a whole new level of freedom for travelers with the elimination of pre-planned tours.
Get ready to be immersed in Bhutan’s authentic culture, values, and environment as the country strives to bring back its “High Value, Low Volume” tourism roots.
