have suffered considerable damage in the riots, lowering the reception

Tourism
continues to boom in Tibet
LHASA, Nov. 12 (Xinhua)
- Tibet Autonomous Region hosted a record 3.72 million tourists over the
first 10 months of the year, well over a million more than the total for the
whole of last year.
The flood of tourists brought the region 4.4 billion yuan (about 550
million U.S. dollars).
"The plateau is of great appeal to overseas
tourists - one out of ten tourists were from overseas, said Wu Yingjie,
deputy chairman of the Tibet Autonomous Regional Government during a recent
interview with a three-member press delegation from the Russian Information
Agency (RIA).
The huge leap in the number
of visitors can be attributed to the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway on
July 1, 2006, according to He Benyun, deputy head of the Regional
Development and Reform Commission. |
