Eco-Tourism in Bhutan is the Tour Company in Bhutan to have the Responsible Tourism.
when we say the responsible tourism ,it is a perfect word for Bhutan's Policy of Low impact and High volume Tourism. Because of this policy, even after 33 years of tourism, there was a minimal impact on Bhutan's environment and on its unique culture. Today, Bhutan is having more than 72% of its area under forest cover and the culture still intact and vibrant.
Diversifying tourism products, Bhutan’s 10 “protected” areas is now opened for tourists, an outcome of a memorandum of understanding signed between the tourism council of Bhutan (TCB) and the ministry of agriculture and forests (MoAF).
Protected areas make up 51.44 percent of the country.The five national parks, four wildlife sancturies and a strict nature reserve that make up the protected areas in the country are also opened to ensure that local communities get some share of tourism benefits. Since all parks and protected areas are managed through donor funds, conservationists said that opening them to tourists would generate some revenue for operation, maintenance and sustainability of the protected areas.
There are some 60,000 people, who live inside the protected areas, But there are many, who liveNabji-Korphu at the Jigme Dorji Wangchuck national park is one of the examples where ecotourism practices inculcate a sense of motivation in the local people to protect forests and the country’s culture outside but derive resources from the park; and, with that, it would be about 20 percent of the population, who depend on the resources of the protected areas.
Agriculture ministry would help develop tourism packages and identify bird watching trails, camp sites, trekking routes, train people to guide through the parks and help the locals to arrange home stays and produce local products.
