Bhutan is embarking on an ambitious project to build the 'Gelephu Mindfulness City' (GMC), spanning over 2,500 sq km. This initiative aims to promote economic growth, wellness, and sustainability, aligning with Bhutan's Gross National Happiness philosophy. The GMC will feature eco-tourism, green spaces, wellness centres, and businesses in finance, healthcare, and technology. To fund infrastructure, green energy, and connectivity, Bhutan is launching a $100 million bond. This innovative approach is expected to attract investment, create jobs, and showcase Bhutan's unique blend of tradition and modernity, setting a global example for sustainable development.
