Bhutan has only been open to tourism since 1974. However, visitors didn't come in greater numbers until the 90's. It is still a young and fresh tourist destination free from unnecessary human intervention. The tourism industry is regulated by Bhutan Tourism Authority who oversees the country's tourism policy such as tariff, service standard and licencing of tour operators. Limited tourist infrastructure and high tariff imposed by government regulation means that the country remains unspoilt from overcrowding and commercialization. Around 13,000 tourists visited this country in 2006, a notch higher than 2005. The number is expected to grow gradually as interests in Asia destinations such as Tibet & Angkor Wat of Cambodia gather more momentum. Many people are attracted to these holy places to pursue spiritual enrichment.

However, many people have told us that they are clueless about how to visit Bhutan. A few have even expressed their frustrations over the difficulties of locating a travel agent in Bhutan. Our presence is a life-saver to them. It is like the best-kept secret shared by the few lucky ones that have visited Bhutan.
