Drukair and Bhutan Airlines face a challenging aviation environment in accelerating Bhutan tourism

20-Feb-12 4:59 PM

The Government of Bhutan, previously reluctant to open the country to tourism, has set a target of 100,000 annual tourists, a considerable increase over the 30,000+ seen in recent years.
