Bhutan's $100-a-Day Tourism: Preserving Paradise

Bhutan's $100-a-Day Tourism Fee: A Sustainable Approach to Travel? Bhutan, a landlocked country nestled in the Himalayas, has implemented an unusual tourism model. Visitors are charged a daily fee of $100, a measure designed to limit tourist numbers and fund crucial social programs. AdventurousKate, a travel blogger, recently visited Bhutan and experienced this firsthand. "Bhutan will blow you away," she says, describing the breathtaking landscapes and unique cultural immersion. Her journey included hikes to iconic sites like Tiger's Nest monastery and stays in homestays, providing a glimpse into the local way of life. The $100 daily fee, known as the Sustainable Development Fee, directly contributes to environmental protection, education, and healthcare initiatives for Bhutanese citizens. This approach prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring the preservation of Bhutan's natural beauty and cultural heritage. While the fee might deter some travelers, Bhutan's commitment to sustainable tourism is a model that other countries could learn from.
