Annual Tourist Arrival in Bhutan Reaches 78 Thousand

Since tourism reopened on September 23 last year, over 78,000 tourists have visited the country, but this falls short of the government’s target of 95,000 visitors in a year. Out of these tourists, only 24,266 were USD-paying, with 10,549 at the old SDF rate of USD 65, and 13,717 paying the revised SDF of USD 200 per day. Bhutan aims to reach pre-pandemic levels by 2025.
