Introduction
I will present a country isolated from the rest of the world, which was left to its own devices to develop
unique and incredible ways that made sense not only for its own culture but also for its entire
ecosystem. It is the only country in the world to be carbon negative, meaning it’s producing three
times more oxygen than it consumes. It is claimed to be the happiest country in the world, let me
introduce to you the country of….. Bhutan! The world’s first carbon-negative country.

Background information
Bhutan is a small country squeezed among the most populated country in the world… China and
India. Despite being a small country why is it claimed as the happiest country in the world? What
makes Bhutan so unique to justify these claims?
1. Airport as a first tourist attraction

So, the first point to mention is their airport. Bhutan's airport is regarded as one of the world's most
dangerous airports since only 8 highly talented pilots are permitted to land safely in the country.
Bhutan airport is also regarded as one of the most beautiful airports, as it resembles a tourist
attraction rather than an airport.
2. no, traffic, and low crime rates

If you wish to explore and travel but are concerned about traffic, you need not be anxious because
traffic does not exist in Bhutan. Bhutan is a highly safe nation to visit; instead of traffic lights, the
country employs traffic wardens. Tobacco cultivation and sale, as well as hunting and fishing, are
prohibited. The country has a low crime rate, which could be attributed to Buddhism, a faith that
emphasizes compassion and nonviolence. Violent crime is uncommon, particularly among foreigners.
3. Contented and organic life

Bhutanese people believe that happiness is unrelated to the country's wealth. That is why they
outperform the GDP in terms of Gross National Happiness. Buddhism encourages people to focus on
what they have rather than what they lack. Bhutanese people are known for living one with nature,
and their country is one of the world's last surviving biodiversity hotspots, with much of their natural
environment still pristine and untouched. It is also the only country whose primary export is renewable
energy, and by 2020, it is announced as the world's first organic nation with its foods and medicines
production.

4. Preserve cultural identity

Bhutan proudly – and rightly – claims that it has never been conquered or colonized by any nation in
the world. As it happens, Bhutan's borders were closed to travelers until the 1970s to preserve their
culture and tradition, and this success is symbolized by their great fortresses, which are featured on
the screen, and is now used for religious purposes rather than warfare defense and is now known as
dzongs in Bhutan. (For example, the well-known tiger's nest, Punakha, tronza, and so on.)

Conclusion
These places are considered sacred and located in high mountains, which is why
climbing, and trekking are the most popular activities in Bhutan. Bhutanese tradition
believes that these activities can wash away sins, purify the body, and clear the mind.
Bhutan is known for being primitive in its culture, preserving its ecosystem, and most
importantly, its intact ideals of life. Welcome to Bhutan, the last Shangri-la.
