Druk Air in the past has played a supporting role to the growing travel industry. Even though the Royal Druk Holidays as an extension of the airline to promote and market Bhutan was conceived many years ago, it was never aggressively pursued.
The airline is now confident that with more importance being placed in tourism there is a need for the airline to also utilize its resources in increasing distribution points in promoting our country. Royal Druk Holidays will compliment the already vibrant tourism industry of Bhutan by emphasizing more on the seasons, which are less visited. The airline through its interline partners and its agencies worldwide will market the packages for Bhutan. We are the operator for the Royal Druk Holidays.
Visit Bhutan on a Royal Druk Holidays program and be prepared for an experience of a lifetime.
