Extractions: tab@druknet.bt Tourism in Bhutan was privatised by the Royal Government of Bhutan in 1991. Today it is a vibrant business with120 private operators at the helm of affairs. The Royal Government of Bhutan adheres strongly to a policy of low impact/volume, high value tourism. The tourism industry in Bhutan is founded on the principle of sustainability, meaning that tourism must be environmentally and ecologically friendly, socially and culturally acceptable and economically viable. The number of tourists visiting Bhutan is regulated to a manageable level because of the lack of infrastructure. The Royal Government of Bhutan recognizes that tourism is a world-wide phenomenon and an important means of achieving socioeconomic development particularly for a developing country like Bhutan. It also recognizes that tourism, in affording the opportunity to travel, can help in promoting understanding among people and building closer ties of friendship based on appreciation and respect for different cultures and lifestyles. Towards achieving this objective, the Royal Government, since inception of tourism in the year 1974, has adopted a very cautious approach to growth and development of the tourism industry in Bhutan. In order to minimize the problems, the number of tourists has been maintained at a manageable level and this control on number is exercised through a policy of government regulated tourist tariff and a set of administrative requirements explained in the following Sections.

Extractions: Startseite Nachrichten Themen Termine ... Impressum 9. September Menschenrechte erheben universellen Geltungsanspruch. Doch die Interpretation und jeweilige Ausgestaltung dieser Rechte sind zum Großteil Aufgabe der einzelnen Vertragsstaaten selbst. Indien hat sich mit der Unterzeichnung der beiden Menschenrechtspakte dem Zivilpakt und dem Sozialpakt von 1976 zu den jeweiligen Rechten bekannt. Im weitesten Sinne sollen die Menschenrechte nicht nur die Bürger gegen willkürliches staatliches Handeln schützen, sondern auch den Staat in die Pflicht nehmen, bestimmte menschenrechtliche Mindeststandards zu garantieren. Inwieweit Indien seiner Verpflichtungen nachkommt und die Menschenrechte tatsächlich umsetzt, ist das Thema unseres aktuellen Schwerpunkts. [Zum Editorial ...] Michael Schied:

Kolofon Bhutan lykke før økonomi Druk Yul betyder Tordendragens land og er bhutanesernes navn for Bhutan. Bhutan er et lille kongedømme beliggende i 5.000 7.000 meters højde i den østlige del af Himalaya-bjergene. Med sine 40.077 km² er Bhutan lidt mindre end Danmark. Befolkningsantallet skønnes at være 760.000. I Bhutan er kongen statsoverhoved. Befolkningen har ikke ret til at danne politiske partier. Der findes en nationalforsamling bestående af 150 medlemmer. 105 medlemmer vælges af befolkningen, 12 medlemmer udpeges af munkevæsenet og 33 medlemmer udpeges af kongen. Regeringen nomineres af kongen, men efterfølgende skal ministrene så godkendes af Nationalforsamlingen. Nationalforsamlingen mødes i princippet to gange om året men kan ekstraordinært indkaldes af kongen. Nationalforsamlingen fungerer som et rådgivende organ for regeringen. Langt hovedparten af befolkningen bor på landet. Omkring 100.000 er bosiddende i byområder. Heraf skønnes de 35.000 at bo i hovedstaden Thimphu og de 24.000 i den næststørste by Phuentsholing. Herudover er der mindre byer på 5.000 - 10.000 indbyggere.

The Living Edens: Bhutan- Animal Archive- Migo
Information about sightings of this creature (also known as Yeti or Alma) and its footprints, with speculation on what it might be.
http://www.pbs.org/edens/bhutan/a_migo.htm

Extractions: There are many theories as to the nature and origin of the Migo (known by the Nepalese and Tibetans as the Yeti, and to the Chinese and Soviets as the Alma). According to the 18th century scholar, Jam-dpal-rdo-rje, "The 'wild man' lives in rugged mountains. Its shape is similar to that of a human. It has extraordinary dexterity and strength." In Bhutan, few people, not even the Royal family, doubt the existence of the Migo. The skepticism of Western scientists is seen merely as yet another manifestation of Western arrogance. Not long after the first Europeans traveled to the Himalayas did reports begin to arrive of "the wild man." In 1832, the Court of Nepal's first British Resident, B.H. Hodson, reported that his native hunters had been frightened by a "wild man" who "moved erectly, was covered in long, dark hair, and had no tail." Mountaineers have often come into contact with the Migo. Indeed, most sightings and footprints have been collected during the course of Himalayan climbing when the primary aim was to conquer mountains, not discover new species. In 1923, British major Alan Cameron was climbing with his party toward the summit of Everest when his Tibetan guides pointed to a line of living creatures, all moving along a cliff face high above the snowline. They reached the area two days later and found huge, humanoid footprints in the snow.
