Bhutan is fully reopened from 23rd September, 2022 without quarantine requirment

The Kingdom of Bhutan fully reopened its borders to tourists on 23rd September 2022 with a renewed focus on sustainability.


"Our strategy for the revamp of the tourism sector brings us back to our roots, of ‘High Value, Low Volume’ tourism, where we meet the needs of tourists while protecting our people, culture, values, and environment. Tourism is a strategic and valuable national asset, one that does not only impact those working in the sector but all Bhutanese. Ensuring its sustainability is vital to safeguarding future generations.” - Dorji Dhradhul, Director General, Tourism Council of Bhutan.

Bhutan increases Sustainable Development Fee

Effective from 20 June 2022, Bhutan raised the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) from USD65 per night per person to USD200 which will go towards activities that promote carbon-neutral tourism and building a more sustainable tourism sector.
