AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Tourism Numbers: Bhutan welcomed 25,195 international visitors in June 2026, up about 118.6% year-on-year, with Indian tourists still leading (17,814 arrivals) while non-India markets held steady; average stay was 5.76 days, pointing to continued demand for multi-day culture, trekking and nature trips. Visa Rules: Bhutan published its 2026 entry list showing only three countries—India, Bangladesh and Maldives—can enter and stay without a visa, underlining how selective the kingdom remains for most travellers. Sport & Travel: Bhutan will host the 2027 World Bodybuilding and Physique Sports Championships in Thimphu, with preparations already underway at the Royal Institute of Management and expectations of 1,000+ athletes from around 70 countries. Roadside Stopovers: Tsirang District Administration is building two new roadside recreational facilities along the Thimphu–Gelephu highway, including an agro-tourism park with eco-trails and a streamside viewpoint, to create safer breaks and fresh local-produce business for farmers. Community & Care: Bhutan Cancer Society’s Care and Support Programme highlights ongoing non-medical hurdles for patients—transport, accommodation and logistics—plus support for referrals, nutrition and assistive devices.
