Towards promoting responsible tourism

A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests (MOAF) and the Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB) to promote responsible and sustainable tourism in the protected areas and government reserve forests lands.

The TCB and MoAF came into an agreement, appreciating the need to diversify and promote sustainable tourism development. Both the parties felt the importance of coordination and cooperation between them to accomplish the goals of developing tourism products and activities that are mutually beneficial and sustainable. This is with the aim not only to enhance economic benefits for the people, but also to promote the protection of our culture and natural heritage.
