Tourism in Tibet

Potala Palace in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet

Tourism in Tibet has recently become one of the region's key development strategies. In 2015, Tibet received over 20 million tourists. It's total annual tourism revenue reached 28 billion yuan, accounting for more than 25% of the region's GDP and contributing more than 20% to the growth of Tibet's economy.[1] However, Tibet's ecological environment, national culture, and customs have been negatively affected by the influx of tourists.[2] Therefore, the region has also advocated for the protection of local businesses and the development of tourism infrastructure.[3]
