Abstract

This chapter explores tourism, which acts to promote the local economy, socio-cultural changes, and lifestyle of the people residing in and around in Bhutan. The purpose of this study is to explore the issues and challenges of tourism at Bhutan and find the impact of tourism to gain experience from art, culture, lifestyle, etc., which in turn create a tremendous impact on the local economy. In a pilot survey, it was observed that tourism in Bhutan has also improved its civic amenities like communication, sanitation, transport facilities, and standard of living for the people in general. This chapter emphasizes the concept of tourism, different issues, challenges related to tourism, as well as revaluing the effectiveness of development of socio-economic conditions of underdeveloped regions. The potentiality of tourism in the context of social development in particular and general is analyzed through the tourism appraisal model.
