Hi Rajiv, Great website on Tourism. As I am also in the tourism sector it is great to see good videos on the tourism sector. I come from Bhutan. I'm sure most of you'll would not be sure where it is.... Well you can view this website for more information. It was done by Channel 5 News report Ted Henry from Ohio, US during his trip to Bhutan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18LJ04CMimM&feature=player_em.. In addition I have recently made a short video on how to get to Bhutan. It's just been uploaded.. http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/jtsering-1165252-ho.. I'm sure not many people know about Bhutan. For example can anyone roughly guess where bhutan is and how many aeroplane does Bhutan own??
