Last update: 4 hours ago

Tourism by Sports: Bhutan’s Olympic Committee says it will push “sports tourism” during the off-season, aiming for 2–3 events a year so visitors stay longer and local athletes get more platforms. Housing Pressure in Thimphu: A new report puts Thimphu’s rent squeeze front and center, showing how rising demand and slow growth in affordable rentals are draining monthly budgets for students and low-income workers. Road Safety Watch: In Parliament, MPs have flagged worsening conditions on the Nganglam–Panbang highway and asked Project DANTAK and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport to step up routine maintenance while widening/resurfacing continues toward a March 2028 finish. Eastern Air Connectivity: Yongphula Airport is getting Nu 38M for runway lighting after an earlier PAPI plan was dropped—meant to improve visibility in cloud and mist. Population Alarm: Bhutan’s birth-rate decline is being called an existential threat, with calls for solutions that can’t wait. Culture & Curiosity: TIME’s World’s Greatest Places 2026 list includes 21 Asian picks, adding fresh global attention to the region’s travel pull.
