Tibet Receives Increasing Number of Visitors
The Tibet Autonomous Region in southwest China hosted more than 780,000 visitors from the rest of the country and abroad in the first nine months this year, an increase of 18.7 percent from a year earlier, tourism officials said Sunday in Lhasa.

The total tourism income in this period reached 854 million yuan (US$103 million), a year-on-year growth of 7.8 percent.

Among the visitors, more than 97,700 were from other Asian countries, Europe and America, dropping slightly on a yearly basis. Asian visitors totaled 26,000, a rise of 6.6 percent. Increases were also reported in the number of visitors from Oceania and China's Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Tibet is expected to receive 820,000 visitors this year, compared with 620,000 last year.
