Bhutan has emerged as a global leader in tech-savvy tourism by launching the world’s first nationwide, government-backed crypto payment system, aiming to fundamentally reshape the visitor experience in this Himalayan kingdom. As of May 2025, nearly every aspect of a traveler’s stay in Bhutan – from visa fees and flights, to hotels, meals, and even entry into centuries-old dzongs – can now be paid for with digital currencies like Bitcoin via a seamless service jointly launched by Binance Pay and Bhutan’s state-owned DK Bank, as detailed in a recent SCMP exclusive.
