Chillis are an essential part of nearly every dish and are considered so important that most Bhutanese people would not enjoy a meal that was not spicy., The tourism industry in Bhutan is relatively young having been initiated only in 1974 at the time of the coronation of the fourth King. The industry totally operated by the government initially, in response to changing operational requirements was first corporatized in 1983 and finally with the privatisation initiative of the government, privatised towards the end of 1991.
