It is with good reason that thousands of people around the world want to visit Bhutan. There is also a good reason for Bhutan’s reluctance to throw its doors wide open to the world. It is no accident that this small kingdom remains one of the unspoilt places on earth with much to see and much to protect.
Many people view Bhutan as an experiment in sustainable change. This is conveyed by its tourism policy of “high value, Low Volume”. Even as Bhutan accepts the realities of globalistion, the world appreciates the need for humanity to preserve its socio-cultural, environmental, and spiritual heritage.
Yet Bhutan is changing, and this transformation of a medieval land into a modern state is a fascinating process. The kingdom is calling on centuries of wisdom to find blend of tradition and modernity. For those who know Bhutan, it is both a nostalgic effort to preserve the past and an exciting attempt to step into the future.
Given the exoticism that Bhutan represents and the deeply spiritual atmosphere that prevails in the kingdom, this evolution is mythology coming alive. www.go2bhutan.com
