AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Tourism & Outdoors: A fresh global hiking round-up is making the rounds, spotlighting “tread softly” treks like Peru’s Salkantay as travelers chase culture-linked, less-crowded routes. Bhutan Tourism Push: Bhutan Olympic Committee says it will use the tourism off-season to run sports tourism events—aiming for 2–3 events a year to keep visitor spending steady. Infrastructure Watch: In Parliament, concerns over the Nganglam–Panbang highway’s worsening stretches were formally raised with Project DANTAK, with routine maintenance promised during widening and resurfacing. Runway Upgrade: Yongphula Airport gets Nu 38M for runway lighting (after a PAPI plan was dropped), with phased work starting after feasibility checks. Policy & Economy: The Renewable Energy Tax Exemption Bill is set for June 6 deliberation, while the FY 2026–27 budget backs big spending across health, education, connectivity, and rural food security. Population Pressure: Bhutan’s birth-rate collapse is again flagged as an existential risk to long-term sustainability.
