Green Tourist Taxes Debate: From Greece’s climate fee to Hawai’i’s new “green” accommodation charge, more destinations are adding tourist taxes with environmental promises—but early results are still unclear, with older models like Spain’s Balearics raising big money while overtourism persists. Bhutan Energy & Health Moves: Bhutan and the World Bank signed a USD 515m deal for the Dorjilung Hydroelectric Power Project, aiming to cut winter power shortages and boost clean exports to India, while health authorities step up malaria prevention ahead of monsoon risks along porous southern borders. Tourism Push, With Limits: Bhutan is preparing the first Bhutan International Travel Mart in Thimphu (11–13 June) to sell its “high-value, low-volume” brand, and a new digital arrival card is being discussed—alongside ongoing festival highlights like Tshechu and the Great Yeti Quest in Sakteng. Hospitality Support: Bank of Bhutan and RICBL start a 5% combined interest relief for eligible hotel loans (4-star and below), as more than 100 hotels apply.
