More than 310,000 tourists visited the Tibet autonomous region over the Lunar New Year holiday, an increase of 40.6 percent year-on-year, Tibet Daily reported on Thursday.
Because of several holidays in close proximity — including Losar, the Tibetan New Year — working people in Tibet were given a long holiday of 10 days.
Between Feb 11 and Feb 17, the region's travel revenue hit 215 million ($33 million) yuan, up 56.7 percent year-on-year, according to the regional tourism development department.
