Bhutan Invites Tourists to Stay Longer with SDF Incentives
21 June 2023
Bhutan has rolled out a scheme that lowers the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF) for tourists who stay more than four nights in the country in a bid to further attract more visitors and entice them to stay longer.
In September 2022, Bhutan increased the daily SDF to $200 from $65 to boost its tourism revenue. The new rules introduced in June 2023 reward tourists who pay the SDF for four days with an extra four days, while those who pay 12 days are allowed to stay for a full month.
These incentives are in place until the end of 2024 and granted to tourists who pay in dollars.
