Having survived the centuries by maintaining a district identity, the kingdom hopes to face the future by drawing on its past. Change, a represented by the powerful force of today’s globalization is a threat for a small country in a big world. And accepting that change is inevitable, Bhutan hopes to survive by clinging on to age old values that the rest of the world has lost. Television and the internet were introduced for the first time in 1999, and in 2005 a record 13,626 tourists visited Bhutan.
