The tourism industry in Bhutan started in 1974 when the government of Bhutan could not ignore the importance of tourism for the socio-economic development of the country. In tune with the initiative of opening doors to foreigners for visiting their much treasured and protected kingdom, the government of Bhutan created Bhutan Tourism Corporation Limited (BTCL).
The government body was created to offer well designed and researched programs for tourists of all kinds, simultaneously ensuring protection and preservation of Bhutan 's original culture, environment and ecology from the ill-effects of tourism. The organization was later privatized in 1991 and presently owns a wholesome range of hotels and tourist lodges at all major tourist centers in Bhutan . The wide range of hotels and lodges on offer carefully maintain a truly Bhutanese feel for the tourists. The organization also maintains its own fleet of cars, vans, mini-coaches and other four wheeled vehicles, so as to ensure reliable and safe transport to the tourists.
Our team of proficient and experienced guides and staff members fluent in speaking English, Japanese, German and other European and Asian languages, make sure that your experience in Bhutan is pleasantly unforgettable.
The government of Bhutan vigilantly keeps a close watch on the number of tourists allowed to visit Bhutan at any given point of time. By doing so, it is prudently ensured that the contemporary infrastructure of Bhutan is never over-stressed and the country does not suffer from any ecological or environmental or cultural fallout.
