It was a pleasure to host Ms. Carolina Ines Aldao, a Tourism Specialist and a Research Assistant from the University of Girona, Spain at the Royal Thimphu College for a week. During her stay, she introduced RTC Business faculty members and a few participants from the Tourism sector to “Tourism in Spain” and her ongoing research on “Management, Vulnerability and Resilience in Tourism from a Post Humanist Perspective”. Tourism has played a vital role in boosting Bhutan’s economy and learning more about Tourism is a bonus added to our knowledge pool. She also visited the Department of Tourism and Amen Tours and Treks, further helping her understand Bhutan's Tourism Management. Erasmus has always helped broaden the horizons of both the incoming guests and the members of our college.

RTC is perfectly located with unique scenery where the mountains complement nature with excellent facilities. 

I had the pleasure of being hosted by Royal Thimphu College. The moment I landed at Paro International Airport, I had the impression of being fully immersed in pristine and peaceful green surroundings. RTC is perfectly located with unique scenery where the mountains complement nature with excellent facilities. The whole RTC staff made me feel very special as Bhutanese people are welcoming, calm and kind. In addition, I had the opportunity to visit temples, and cultural attractions, to do the trekking to Tiger's Nest and to feel like a local by wearing the "Kira", the national dress, which I completely fell in love with. I loved how tradition, religion and nature open the path to connect people in a cooperative, friendly and peaceful community.
