The Tibet autonomous region expects to receive 61 million tourist visits and achieve an annual revenue of 64 billion yuan ($10 billion) from tourism by 2025, according to local authorities.
This is part of the region’s drive to boost tourism during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). More than 600,000 tourism operators and rural residents are expected to benefit from the industry by 2025.
The region is expected to receive more than 42 million tourists and earn 44 billion yuan from the sector this year, an estimated 20 percent year-on-year increase in both, according to a recent conference call about the region’s tourism sector.
The region’s booming tourism during the May Day holiday has definitely given the sector greater confidence.
Tibet received more than 700,000 tourists during the five-day holiday that ended on Wednesday, a 48 percent increase year-on-year, and its tourism revenue reached more than 700 million yuan during the period, an increase of 93 percent, the region’s tourism department said on Friday.
