Bhutan’s Radical Approach to Overtourism
Many places allow tourists to visit with little restrictions. But Bhutan is different. Nestled in the Himalayas, this tiny, land-locked country has implemented a “high-value, low-impact” tourism model, including a fee that tourists have to pay each day that they visit. As more destinations grapple with the effects of overtourism, what can Bhutan teach us about how to manage it?
SHOW NOTES:
It just got much cheaper to visit Bhutan (2023)
