It's a Me Mario!

Hello everyone! It's a me Mario! Today I'm here to talk about the fascinating philosophy of Gross National Happiness in Bhutan. They're evolving to 'Gross National Happiness 2.0' — sounds like a fancy new Mario game!

Balancing Act Like on a Tightrope!

Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay says Bhutan is teetering on the brink of collapse but they won't abandon GNH. It's like trying to balance on a rolling ball in the Mushroom Kingdom!

To Grow or Not to Grow?

Tobgay says they need to grow the economy while keeping social progress environmental protection and good governance in mind. It's like trying to collect coins while avoiding those pesky Goombas!

Tourism Troubles and Sustainable Solutions

Bhutan's tourism industry is struggling but they're sticking to their 'high value low volume' approach. It's like trying to keep the Mushroom Kingdom pristine while welcoming guests!

Onward to Prosperity It's a Mario Time!

Bhutan is focusing on strengthening its economy through tourism and other interventions to bring their youth back home. It's like rescuing Princess Peach — but instead of a castle it's an entire country!

It's All About Balance Just Like Bouncing on Koopa Troopas!
