Tibet sees record number of tourists in July
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-08-22 17:05 China's Tibet autonomous region saw a tourist surge last month, with the number of tourists from home and abroad rising to a new monthly record of 1.22 million, according to the National Tourism Administration. The peak-season tourists generated more than one billion yuan ($146.39 million) in tourism revenue for the region, the administration said Friday in an online statement. The number of tourists more than doubled that in last July, when tourism in the region was still shadowed by the March 14 riot last year in Lhasa, capital of Tibet.
Tourism revenue, from January to July, also jumped 3.5 folds from a year ago to 2.29 billion yuan, or up 35.3 percent from the same period in 2007. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
