Incentives for agents to revive tourism in Tibet
The Lhasa City Tourism Bureau has set aside 1 million yuan (approx 146,000 U.S. dollars), hoping to revive the devastated tourism market.
From now until December 30, a travel agency can be rewarded 50,000 yuan for organizing a charter flight with at least 100 overseas tourists, or an incentive for a 600-person train tour.
The same reward will be paid to agencies that bring in 1,000-2,000 foreign tourists this year. Foreign tourist arrivals of more than 2,000 this year will yield a double reward for an agency.
Though domestic tourists have been steadily increasing over the last few months, it is only recently that international tourists have begun to return.
Lhasa is known as the “City of Sunshine”, and has long been considered one of the purest places on Earth. Tibet has more than 300 scenic sites, many of which are in or around Lhasa.
