Once known as the 'happiest country in the world,' Bhutan is now facing unhappiness as the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacts its tourism industry, leading to a rise in overall unemployment to 5.59% and youth unemployment nearing 29%. The country's heavy reliance on tourism has caused economic distress, prompting many young Bhutanese to seek opportunities abroad. Despite efforts to revive tourism post-pandemic, Bhutan's visitor numbers remain low, challenging the nation's economic recovery.
