It is reported that Tibet tourism develops with a steady pace in the first four months of 2013. The total number of visitors came to Tibet between January and April increased more than 25 percent compared to the same period of last year.

According to statistics provided by Tibet Tourism Bureau, Tibet has received more than 0.67 million person-time both at home and abroad, and that number increased 25.2 percent compared to the same period of 2012. Statistics also show that Tibet has realized a total tourism revenue of more than 0.73 billion RMB in the first four months in 2013 and that revenue increased 31 percent compared to the same period of last year.

In fact, the Tibet tourism market was warmed up after March when the climate is getting warmer. Generally, the celebration of Nyingchi Peach Blossom Festival marks the opening of the high season of Tibet tour. A large quantity of tourists both at home and abroad would come to Nyingchi to enjoy the breathtaking peach blossom landscape and then continue their journey to Lhasa and Shigatse. Scenic spots which are not available in winter could always be opened to tourists with the coming of April.

To attract more visitors, Tibet Tourism Bureau has adopted more liberal policies for foreign tourists' application of the Tibet Entry Permit. Even tourists traveling to Tibet alone could apply for the Tibet Entry Permit if he/she could provide the required documents. It is reported that more tourists are planning to rush to Tibet compared to the last year. The Tibet train/air tickets are in greater demand though several new trains and flights had been opened to meet the demand of tourists since April. Except for the transportation tickets, tourists making a Tibet tour after April should also prepare extra budget in the hotels and vehicles.

The number of visitors came to Tibet broke through 10 million in 2012. The special natural scenery and distinctive folk customs in Tibet are of great attraction for tourists from different corners of the world. The series of introduction & promotion conferences regarding the Tibet tourism provosts held in different cities of China gained considerable effectiveness. It is reported that Tibet is planning to receive more than 12.6 million tourists and achieve a total tourism revenue of 15.8 billion RMB till the end of 2013.

As a professional Tibet tour operator, Tibet Tour highly suggests tourists making a Tibet tour in the high season to enter into Tibet by air and depart Tibet by train. It is much easier to get a train ticket out of Tibet rather than a train ticket enters into Tibet, especially in this August. According to the Tibet festival calendar 2013, the solemn Shoton Festival will be celebrated on August 6th this year. For tourists planning to book the air tickets to Tibet, Chengdu is a good choice for there are more flights between Chengdu and Lhasa, and there might be greater discount in the price. The price of the air tickets to Lhasa from Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai would be relatively higher.
