Sonam Trophel Trophel Tours and Treks Paro Town Bhutan
Kuzu-Zangpola! I started my career in 2009 right after I graduated with a weekly national newspaper called Business Bhutan. I worked for the paper for three years from 2009-2012 and was gradually promoted to the position of senior reporter. After completing the project, in 2013 I started my job at the erstwhile Tourism Council of Bhutan, which has now become the Department of Tourism, as a Communication Officer in the Marketing Department. In 2015 I moved to Australia and worked with Jupiter’s hotel and casino and Hilton hotel for two year. In 2017, I returned home and I have been managing the family business for the last five years as a General Manager for the hotel and import business, and the Head of Marketing for the travel business. In this capacity, I have been marketing Bhutan as a tourist destination through our Trophel Tours, managing our three star hotel Sonam Trophel and the highly popular Trophel Restaurant.
