” Our culture would be suffocated, not because tourists want to ( suffocate culture ), but the numbers would suffocate our culture”.
About 100, 000 tourists arrived in Bhutan last month, a third of its 2019 apex of 350, 000.  ,
According to Mr. Tobgay, the notion that Bhutan is difficult to visit is a myth that has a negative impact on tourism.  ,
Due to the myth that Bhutan is difficult to get to and very expensive to get to,” Potential visitors would want to go to Bhutan, put it on a bucket list, but never get down it,” he continued.
But, the “myth” is great in a way, he said.  ,
” Because when people finally get to Bhutan, breath our atmosphere, taste our water, join our people, join with us, interact with us, there is a great sense of satisfaction”.
