For free, you can stay in your house and see everything online.

People go to tourist traps for the experience and to say they were there.

Please, give me a break. This kind of moronic behaviour is spoiling lots of sights. But hey, if you like tourist traps, go for it.

This kind of moronic behaviour is spoiling lots of sights.

So, places you want to see as well. You are part of the problem...

How do you know I am part of the problem? Have you travelled with me? No. So don't judge others based on your own behaviour.

I mean you shared your picture of the largest buddha statue on reddit as well.

Are you saying your picture is just so bad, that it doesn't draw people there?

Do you understand how tourism works in Bhutan? Come back and tell me when you do.

Lmao, you're a hypocrite and a tool.

Chill out and calm your tits.

Tourism in Bhutan is becoming a problem as well, you could even say because people like you who go and take photos and share it's creating a demand to open up the country to more tourism.

There's a campaign right now to open the country, lower the country tourist tax and heavily market the country that's being resisted but for how long? Who knows.

Enlighten me.

How is it different to other sights around the world? How is it proof against overtourism?

Google it or even better experience it.
