Bhutan, the land of happiness

Bhutan, the land of happiness

(VOVWORLD) - Bhutan has, for centuries, viewed happiness as a core responsibility of government. The Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index was formally adopted as a development indicator in Bhutan’s 2008 Constitution and up until last year, Bhutan’s tourism slogan was “Happiness is a Place”. In this week’s Cultural Rendezvous, Ngawang Tenzin, a reporter of Bhutan Broadcasting Service, will help you know more about the GNH index and its implication in Bhutan.
