Tourist Tariff on Applicable Reservations For New Reservations Per government law set by the Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB), a tourist tariff will be levied on guests from all countries except India, Bangladesh, and the Maldives. This tariff, which is not included in the hotel’s room rates, is valid throughout the year. This mandatory tourist tariff can be arranged through the hotel’s partnered travel agency at the following discounted rates: A booking for one guest: 180 USD per person per night A booking for two guests: 175 USD per person per night A booking for three or more guests: 170 USD per person per night In addition, a one-time visa fee of 40 USD per person will also be levied. The tourist tariff offered includes the following services and charges, which are handled by the hotel’s partnered travel agency: Roundtrip airport transfer Daily sightseeing with an English-speaking guide All applicable government taxes All museum and monument fees For Canceling an Existing Reservation with a Paid Tourist Tariff If a guest cancels a reservation after paying the hotel’s partnered travel agency for the tourist tariff, the agency will impose a cancellation penalty based on laws set by the Tourism Council of Bhutan (TCB). This penalty amount is based on the tourist tariff rate set by the TCB—250 USD per day from March to May and from September to November, and 200 USD per day from June to August and from December to February—as the agency would need to deposit the prerequisite amount directly to the government body. Per TCB laws, the following penalties are based on how much advance notice is given for a cancellation: 30 or more days before an arrival date: No charge 21 to 29 days before: 10% of total amount 14 to 20 days before: 15% of total amount 7 to 13 days before: 30% of total amount Less than 7 days before, or without notice: 50% of total amount No-show, or after arrival: 100% of total amountPayment before arrival by bank transfer is required.
