Culture and history
The history of Bhutan is closely related to Buddhist ethics, where excitement is seen as a form of greed and distraction from the spiritual path.
Therefore, in the traditional culture of the country, neither casinos nor card houses have ever appeared.
Entertainment was communal in nature: archery, hura (darting), dancing and chanting during religious festivals.
Even today, the state ideology of Gross National Happiness relies on moral and environmental well-being, rather than commercial forms of leisure.
Unlike neighboring countries, Bhutan deliberately excludes gambling from its cultural and tourism policies, positioning itself as a "clean zone" of spirituality and tradition.
