Why is Bhutan planning to ban tourists altogether?

    Share on

Bhutan continues to distinguish itself globally through its strong commitment to environmental protection. The country is one of the few that is carbon negative, meaning it absorbs more carbon dioxide than it produces.

 

In 2025, Bhutan maintains its "high-value, low-impact" tourism policy, requiring visitors to pay a minimum daily fee of approximately $200. This model not only controls the volume of tourists but ensures that tourism directly benefits environmental conservation and local communities.

 

The Bhutanese government's development philosophy prioritizes Gross National Happiness over rapid economic expansion. As a result, environmental health remains central to national policy.

 

According to recent government data, tourist numbers have levelled off, with strict monitoring of ecological indicators in place.

 

The Ministry of Environment has even suggested that a complete ban on mass tourism could be implemented if environmental strain intensifies.

 

Through these measured and proactive efforts, Bhutan offers a leading global model for sustainable tourism and nature preservation. The country's enduring mission is to protect its pristine forests, unique wildlife, and unspoiled rivers for future generations.
