AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Tourism Branding: Bhutan’s Phuentsholing is set to get a makeover as the government signs a contract to build destination branding and a digital tourism platform, aiming to turn the busy border town into a “clean, safe and experiential” stop with a one-stop visitor website. Hospitality Skills: In Phuentshogling, hotel workers are being assessed and certified through a Recognition of Prior Learning pilot, with competency checks in housekeeping, cooking, front office and food & beverage to lift service standards. Climate & Careers: Bhutan’s first batch of PhD graduates in Climate Studies has received certificates from the College of Natural Resources in Lobesa, with research focused on climate impacts on food systems and climate-resilient farming. Food Culture: A travel piece spotlights Bhutan’s national dish, Ema Datshi, as a memorable taste that brings visitors back to the valleys of the Thunder Dragon. Regional Travel Context: India’s passport ranking slipped to 125th in the Global Passport Index 2026, but visa-free access still includes Bhutan—useful for Bhutan-bound travellers planning ahead.
