The tourism development department of the Tibet autonomous region recently announced the reopening of all outdoor tourist sites in Lhokha, as the novel coronavirus epidemic wanes.


After suspension of all tourism activities within the region for three months, it is the first time an outdoor tourism site in the region has reopened. The reopening for tourists outside of the region is still unknown.


Wang Songping, director of the tourism department, said Tibet had received more than 40 million tourists from home and abroad last year, a large proportion of the total tourists from the region. The proportion was expected to increase this year.


Luo Yun, head of the Lhokha tourism development bureau, said at a promotional event recently in Lhasa, the region's capital, that the bureau expected more tourists from the region to explore the city's scenic sites during the coming Labor Day holiday.
