Bhutan

• Bootan (archaic)

Borrowed from French Bhoutan, from Nepali भुटान (bhuṭān), from Prakrit 𑀪𑁄𑀝𑁆𑀝𑀁𑀢 (bhŏṭṭaṃta, “Tibet”, literally “end of Tibet”); probably ultimately from Tibetan བོད (bod, “Tibet”) + Sanskrit अन्त (anta, “end”). Traditionally considered to be derived via Sanskrit भोटान्त (bhoṭānta), but that word is probably a Prakritism.

     The problems for Bhutan, a country largely dependent on tourism but that has imposed restrictions to prevent environmental destruction, began worsening since the coronavirus pandemic.
     The mountainous and isolated kingdom has opted in recent years for a timid openness but remains firm in its desire to avoid mass tourism and to preserve an identity shaped, compared to other minorities, around the traditions of the Tibetan-origin ‘Drukpa’ ethnic group, which professes Mahayana Buddhism.

     Most foreigners who have heard of Bhutan know two things: the country charges international visitors a $100/day sustainable development fee (aka tourist tax), and that it is the birthplace of the Gross National Happiness Index, a system intended to look after the well-being of citizens and the environment.
