Travel restrictions eased

By Contact Staff /  January 3, 2013;

The Chinese government of the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) has eased the highly restrictive conditions introduced for non-Chinese visitors for most of 2012, apparently to promote tourism in the lean winter season. Other restrictions, such as certain regions being banned for foreign travelers and the requirement for a special permit for travelling to the TAR, apparently still remain in place.
