Bhutan cuts daily tourist fee by half to lure more visitors

May 21, 2025

Bhutan, will cut in half the $200 daily fee it charges visitors in an effort to stimulate a sector that has yet to fully recover a year after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. When Bhutan lifted two years of COVID restrictions in September of last year, it increased its “Sustainable Development Fee” to $200 per visitor per night from $65, stating that the money will be used to offset the carbon produced by tourists.
