CHAPTER 9 TOURISM The tourism industry in Bhutan began in 1974. The government agency, erstwhile Bhutan Tourism Corporation, controlled tourism until its privatization in 1991. In 2008 there were 475 licensed tour operators. The potential as far as foreign exchange earnings are concerned is very high. The revenue generation from the tourism sector has increased form over US$ 2 million in the late 1980’s to over US$ 38 million in 2008. The tourism industry in Bhutan enjoyed continued growth with the tourist arrivals in the country rising steadily during the 1990s through 2000, while in 2001 there was a comparative decrease in tourist arrivals owing to terrorism and outbreak of SARS. However, the industry saw growing number of international tourist arrival thereafter. In 2008, there were 27636 tourists arrivals compared to 21094 in 2007. This accounts to a record growth rate of 31.01%. Following similar trend from the previous years, tourist arrivals from the European region dominated in 2008. Country wise, the highest number of tourist came from the United States of America accounting to 25.1% of the total arrivals in 2008, followed by United Kingdom (10.0%), Japan (10%) and Germany (6.2%). There was also significant increase in visitors from other countries too. There is unequal distribution of tourist arrival in Bhutan interms of time of their visit. Majority of tourist arrivals are in Spring (February-April) and Autumn (August-October) season. “Culture and Nature” has always been the Unique Selling Proposition (USP) for the tourism industry of Bhutan. In 2008, major festivals in the country attracted significant number of visitors. There were 26426 tourists who visited Bhutan for culture, holidays and recreation purposes. 130 NSB STATISTICAL YEARBOOK OF BHUTAN 2009 C M Y K
