30 Countries Where Tourists Get the Royal Treatment (And 20 Where They Don't)

27. Bhutan: Gross National Happiness and Mindful Hospitality

Bhutan's unique philosophy of Gross National Happiness extends directly to its approach to tourism, offering a truly exclusive and mindful "royal treatment." Visitors are often guided by knowledgeable locals who genuinely share their culture and traditions. The daily tariff, while seemingly high, covers an all-inclusive experience, ensuring high-quality accommodation, food, and seamless logistics, freeing visitors to immerse themselves fully. This controlled, high-value approach fosters respectful interactions and a deep appreciation for the serene beauty and spiritual richness of the "Land of the Thunder Dragon."
