What a great site ???????

A leader in this arena. USA could learn from this and start with their National federal lands destinations. I especially liked role governement can play in guiding industry for incentives based action.

I have written about Bhutan in my "What a Trip" newspaper column as Guide Tenpa Chophel came to speak about "The Land of the Thunder Dragon" at an REI store in Concord, California. REIadventures.com was offering a trip to Bhutan in 2008.

Best of luck with your marketing program. I look forward to visiting Bhutan one day soon.
