Bhutan - Kingdom of the mystery


Bhutan Visa required minimum spend 200USD/ngay and to the travel company, few people plan trips Bhutan if two conditions are not enough: well-off and love "movement."
The prescribed amount visitors spend at least in the kingdom comes with visa application procedures showed a high awareness of the monarch and his people about the beauty of cultural heritage and belong to their natural .

The world is not much the little distant lands can only haunt someone through casual portraits. Bhutan is the mysterious one of them. The nice man stepped out radiant as Hollywood studios, skirt, high socks and masculine elegance, while the woman looked vaguely have similarities, a naive definition, purity.
I was obsessed, as I know: the earth does that person. The eye is clear of the priests as not in the earth. The natural smile as the crow flies, such as flowers bloom. These adorable kids, than almost the holding cotton balls rolling hills, the mountains. I recited the name of Bhutan several times before arriving.


THE "HAPPINESS INDEX"
Our journey lasted a week, mostly traveling the Midwest, where the focus of major cities on the administrative, cultural and economic realm. Starting from Paro via Timphu, and ends at Wangdue Phrodrang Gantey. But do not think that Bhutan can come from anywhere, on any airline any favorites. Forget about accumulated miles or points, by Bhutan is not "licensed" for any airline out in this country. Only the modern Airbus 319 Druk Air (the trade name of the national airline Royal Bhutan Airlines) will be the exclusive carrier of the guests want to explore the beauty and cultural heritage and natural about them.
From Saigon, I chose Bangkok to begin the journey. My flight to Paro airport takes about 3 hours. Experience the best in flight to Paro is one of us will fly to the 10 highest peaks in the world. When the elevation plane preparing to land, I felt like an airplane wing can touch the tree as high as two peaks throughout the range seen from plane window. Within minutes, an open runway straight ahead, running along the river between two mountains, forming a narrow and beautiful valley in the movie myth or science fiction.


Paro is the second largest city of Bhutan with 36 thousand inhabitants, where the only airport in the kingdom. The city has a pleasant beauty and intimacy, known for a graceful traditional markets where fruit and vegetables mixed tropical, temperate and tropical welding, where there is an ancient fortress where the local language called the dzong. The dzong was built in a valley in the 14th century the purpose of guarding and protecting each territory. Today, most of the dzong was used as government offices and Buddhist temples.
To understand human Bhutan and easy access to popular culture appears intact wild, the first is familiar with the term "total national happiness," GNH (gross national happiness). This term was coined in 1972 by King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who advocated modernization of Bhutan after the collapse of his father, King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk. He used this phrase to his commitment to responsibility in building an economy for Bhutan's unique culture based on Buddhist spiritual values. This concept is only about the health situation of the country, replaces only the GNP (Gross National Product-Total national output).
GNH is measured on four criteria: the natural environment, cultural environment, the social institutions of the health and life expectancy. Bhutan government has devised a complex map of the state of peace happiness (well-being)-style Buddhism. In the four pillars (Economics - Culture - Environment - friendly government) is spreading steadily in nine areas (usually the heart, peace, ecology, health, cultural and living standards of quality time use, community and nuances friendly government).


Land of the fortress, Pagoda and monastery
I moved from Paro to Thimphu - the capital of the kingdom, are fit entirely in a romantic valley. Traffic and residents crowded, busy street than Paro but did not have traffic lights, only the police traffic control very flexible rhythm. I began to busy traveling to different regions of the mysterious country. Transportation is two for SUVs.The next point is the Bumthang district in central Bhutan countryside, famous for cheese, festivals and cuisine very own. You will discover the 500 meters in the longest line at the town of Bhutan Bumthang, Jakar, located in the valley Chokhor. I spend the night in a hotel on top of a mountain. I used to spend the night at many hotels there are many different terrain in many lands, but not where panoramic views and natural magnificent spacious as here. The dinner was wonderful with the food of the local characteristics of rice, potatoes, vegetables and cheese ...
Where there are also temples and monasteries, but most impressive is the ancient temple Tamshing Goemba. Across a courtyard is in the temple was built in 1501. In the lobby there are three incarnations throne for three (body, mind, and speech). A conservation area is preserved in the statue of Guru Rinpoche (is said to have left many "treasures" mysterious, sacred texts will be revealed at a time when people are willing to understand ) are among the statues of Shakyamuni - the historical Buddha, and Jampa - the future Buddha. I walk around the protected area for hours, contemplating the ancient frescoes on the walls. Bhutan who perform ritual walk around the temple to pray as a way of meditation. However, I still want to oldest temple in Bhutan - Jampey Lhakhang was built in 659. Church where the statue is Jampa, the Buddha of the future with three sitting on stone steps.


From Gantey back to Paro, I was fortunate to see the bull of Tibet and the fall colors from high Pele La Pass (3420 m). Back in Trongsa road, we stopped in ta-dzong the clock tower was restored as a museum. It's the best museum in Bhutan. Traces the history of Bhutan through religious art found in the dzong, the original shall be kept in this museum ...
One of the last day to stay in this country, I came Pobjilkha Valley, beautiful green valley, about 4km wide and very long. The bottom of the valley is formed from swamps and where long grazing. Distance is immense Himalayan blue, surrounded by forests, hemlock and fir.

The Airbus 319 flight from Paro, but I still thought I was halfway up a sleepwalking attacks. My soul still linger in the blue ridge halfway between heaven, the serious and intensive monastic holy souls simple in real life. In a second, I thought that Bhutan is a place of pilgrimage for anyone, regardless of religion; where people live and direct their hearts to peace, pure and holy.

Dutch travelers discover the beauty of Vietnam



  Louk Lennaerts has the appearance of a spiritual leader rather than a company ceo creative style resort projects in Vietnam. to him, 15 years along the horizontal s-shaped tract, explore hidden charms of Vietnam was conquered journey "source of happiness" of a traveler's favorite Dutch adventurer.

Imprints resort-style living
In 2001, from a Victoria Resort Hoi An - the favorite lodging of tourists in Europe, Louk Lennaerts and colleagues have continued to launch the stylish resort with many pioneering elements in Vietnam . The concept of lifestyle resort (resort-style living) first made the resort brand is not just stop and rest, but also a sense of experiencing the unique beauty, interesting life of each region. Since then, the "father" Louk - name intimate friends call him - was invited to participate in building and designing a series of resort called "Life" in Quy Nhon, Hoi An, Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay, near La Perla is Phu Yen Bai Tram Hideaway ... revitalized the point to say nice sleep still wild and gentle.
Louk was also put forward the idea of ​​space "concept" called Fusion, takes visitors to the different life experiences. Alya La Gi Fusion architecture with minimal facilities and return to nature. A Fusion Alya Dalat offers the exciting experience of wine. Fusion Alya with Phu Quoc Vietnam fashion industry and turn Phu Quoc into the world of fashion to the bold colors of Vietnam. Back in Central, Fusion Maia Danang is the harmonious combination between the spa and resort.
In particular, visitors can eat breakfast anytime, anywhere in the culinary taste is changed 7 days the spirit of "Fusion". This is considered an approach of "revolution" and can be applied to many resorts in the years ahead. Not only that, Louk also very devoted to their project Boutique Resort Hoi An. Guests staying in a "boutique" minimalist color is filled in the warm and comfortable intimacy with nature.
In the near future, he will develop brand M2Boutique in Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Hue and some other provinces. This project aims to quickly recover capital opportunities with an investment medium. Each square meter cherish works are designed towards compact, versatile and youthful, while maintaining the open space, privacy for users.
In 2002, Louk and some close associates established Consultancy Company - Serenity Investment Holdings. The company is not only a consulting unit that also is a founding shareholder. The Serenity Holdings is applying this model for two projects: Fusion Fusion Alya Alya Hoi An and La Gi.
Louk two sons living and working in Vietnam, also in construction, design and real estate projects.
Do not say "take advantage of favorable position ...
Still passionate eyes light transmission always a warm feeling for the opposite, he slowly begins the story with a healthy smile:
- I have lived and worked in Thailand. The Thai population in general and Southeast Asia in particular, but very friendly but much less outspoken expressions of emotion as the Vietnamese. In 1995, with interest, but the prying eyes of the very people friendly travelers flock to the West, I was vaguely thinking I belong to this land.
Appears spontaneously in the communication of the Vietnamese that I thought his "connection" with the life of Saigon. But ... after more than 15 years, I really do not get it right, know enough about human beings here. The most interesting element is "unpredictable."
Everyone is very excited about the job but did not forget to maintain "self" of his. And I learned while not enough to understand what is happening in the first Vietnamese people, I chose to compromise. Compromise does not mean agreement. Compromise is to continue to live long, live deep in the wall here until all the new shows only.
Always monitor and live fully with the trend in luxury resort in Vietnam, he was able to share the analysis of this growing market?
- I myself have in mind a product born was when it became obsolete, missing the beat. The only way to go up is to endure difficult times before running the market, discover and create useful value ever. No common denominator of successful case examples. However, with a unique idea, a market research cycle regulation and long-term development plans anticipate the risks, know what victory will smile. Instead of saying "take advantage of favorable position", say "I have an idea to invite you to experience the difference."
Back to the issues innovation in business, according to my personal observations, most of Vietnam enterprises choose to collect, copy, and "application" of new ideas into their projects very quickly . That's why I found the only foreign businesses with specific commitment to quality, future-oriented development of new clarity achieved certain success of the project.
He can predict what the customer's travel market in Vietnam in the future?
As society grows, the future of tourism in Vietnam belongs to domestic passenger market. While the needs of international visitors complicated and depends on factors can not predict it, why not travel agents to find out, calculate and meet the needs of the majority of tourists home? If that make our products better, in the near future, the majority of tourists Vietnam would be willing to spend more than at present.
For example example of Mui Ne tourism. Since first arriving here, I still do not understand why investors have not developed tourist waterway. Have you exploited the most beautiful beaches around the country during that time is not sure that the delayed implementation of travel by sea is due to lack of funding. You will select five hours sitting in the car or just a few hours of surfing is to be Mui Ne?
Where in Vietnam is the land he devoted special feeling deep?
To see ... first time I met a rustic Hoi An, before "they" have not "crunch" of travel, so perhaps love for this place is the deepest. Here, I have lived, loved and are more heavily into four major projects. Hoi An, sure!
I also love outside Sapa, Da Lat has many factors before objective changes and annexation of the village. I love islands and Nha Trang climate than the love for this city. Commonplace that you can not love a love of all nature. Even when the angle of emotions that you have lost love alone maintain this somewhat blindly. I myself experience this in contradiction with the opportunity to develop tourism.
