An internationally renowned Dutch wildlife photographer and conservationist once said, “Tourism is important because it can create sustainable local economies. I’d much rather have 1,000 tourists going up the Tambopata than 1,000 gold miners.”

Tourism plays a vital role in building resilient, locally driven economies by generating sustainable livelihoods, supporting small businesses and enhancing national economy.

Toward promoting Wangdue Phodrang as a niche, high potential destination, the Dzongkhag Administration and YeeGetAway, a media consultancy firm, entered into a contract to begin branding, packaging and promotion of Wangdue Phodrang as a high potential tourism destination.
