Questions about the prospects of foreigners traveling to Tibet.

It is very promising. Foreigners are very interested in it. Tibet is also a tourist destination and there are many tourism resources that can be developed, so this work is very promising. I am in Tibet and I often see foreigners traveling there.

Since the 1980s, the vigorous development of domestic and foreign tourism and the Tibet Autonomous Region People's Government's efforts to make the most of the tourism industry have provided a golden opportunity for the rapid development of Tibet's tourism industry. Tibet's tourism industry has made impressive achievements. The remarkable achievements have played an irreplaceable role in other industries in the transformation of Tibet's industrial structure, accumulation of construction funds, and farmers and herdsmen alleviating poverty and becoming rich. It has grown into a new growth point for Tibet's national economy, with tourism as an important pillar industry. It is an inevitable choice for Tibet’s economy to achieve its goal of leap-forward development. According to the different characteristics of Tibet's tourism industry in different periods, this article divides it into five periods: initial development, low trough, steady growth, rapid development, and golden development. It makes a longitudinal comparison and overall analysis of these five periods, and summarizes the tourism industry. The position and role of the tourism industry in the national economy of Tibet, taking this as an entry point, combines the industrial characteristics of the tourism industry with the relevant theories of pillar industries and leap-forward development, and analyzes the use of tourism as an important pillar industry to promote the leap-forward development of the Tibetan economy. The inevitability was analyzed. On the basis of summarizing the advantages of tourism as an important pillar industry and analyzing the constraints on tourism development, combined with the specific regional conditions of Tibet, it pointed out the development principles that Tibetan tourism should follow and the development model that should be chosen. , guided by this principle and model, we propose strategic options to promote the sound and rapid development of Tibet’s tourism industry. The sustained, steady, and rapid development of Tibet's tourism industry should follow the principles of sustainable development, regional collaboration, and coordination of economic development and cultural inheritance, and choose an industrial development model that combines advanced, government-led, and promotional types, starting from the tourism industry. Systematic planning in terms of structure, product structure, regional structure optimization, talent training, and information system improvement will be comprehensively strengthened to promote the early realization of Tibet's economic leapfrog development goals. The innovation of this article: Divide the Tibetan tourism industry into five periods according to the different characteristics of each period; combine the industrial characteristics of the tourism industry with relevant theories of pillar industries and leap-forward development, and use tourism as an important pillar industry to promote the leap-forward economy of Tibet The inevitability of this type of development was analyzed; combined with the specific regional conditions of Tibet, the development model that Tibetan tourism should follow was pointed out.

Characteristics of Tibet’s tourism resources Tibet’s tourism resources themselves have extremely obvious religious characteristics, ethnic characteristics, monopoly and naturalness.

1. Religious. Due to the widespread influence of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet, many tourism resources have a strong religious flavor, not to mention the numerous magnificent monasteries scattered throughout Tibet. With the sound of Dharma trumpets, even the endless flow of prayer-turners around Lhasa’s Bajiao Street every day, holding prayer wheels and chanting mantras, you can feel the strong religious atmosphere, and even the natural lakes, The mountains also have religious overtones in the minds of Tibetans. Mount Gangrenbuchin, the main peak of the Gangdise Mountains located in Pulan County, has become a holy place in the hearts of Chinese and foreign religious believers due to its long-standing religious legends, attracting thousands of devout believers every year. Come from thousands of miles away to worship. The "holy water" Manasarovar Lake connected to the sacred mountain is considered by believers to be the king of the world's "holy lakes". Using the "holy water" can not only remove the dirt on people's skin, but also wash away the "five poisons" in people's souls. Every summer and autumn, , many believers come to bathe in the holy lake and bring the clear lake water as gifts to their relatives and friends.

2. National characteristics. The Tibetans and other ethnic groups living on the Tibetan Plateau have created splendid Tibetan culture in their struggle with nature. These cultural tourism resources with ethnic characteristics, such as religious temples, large Tibetan robes, and flat-topped blockhouses, Residential houses, fragrant plateau hot drinks - butter tea, dried beef and mutton, rough and bold Tibetan songs and dances, colorful festivals, peculiar wedding customs, funeral customs and other folk customs not only allow tourists to appreciate a completely different world The exotic atmosphere of the area where they live can also allow tourists to feel and understand the unique charm of Tibetan national culture.

3. Monopoly. As the main part of the Tibetan Plateau, the world's highest plateau, its huge altitude has led to many tourism resources becoming the best of its kind in the world. For example, the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, gathers in an area of ??1,000 square kilometers around it. It has the vast majority of mountains above 7,000 meters in the world; the world's highest lake - Namtso, which means Tianhu in Tibetan; the world's largest canyon - the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, regardless of its depth and length Both far exceed the Colca Canyon in Peru and the Grand Canyon in the United States; dense virgin forests are distributed in southeastern Tibet. Among them, the good combination of water, heat and light and the large temperature difference near Bomi make the trees the most unique in the world. Rare production capacity; the southern and southeastern mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, especially the southern slopes of the Himalayas, due to the huge height difference, have produced an extremely complete vertical spectrum of vegetation from the tropics to the frigid zone, etc. Most of these resources have unique characteristics. , stunning and rare characteristics, it is irreplaceable to a large extent. It is the best tourist destination for mountaineering adventures, geological research, ecological inspections and other tourism activities. The numerous "best in the world" make Tibet one of the world's top tourist resource destinations.

4. Naturalness.

The Tibetan Plateau is surrounded by high mountains, which have become a natural barrier between Tibet and the outside world. In addition, the closed self-sufficient farming and animal husbandry economy has weakened the connection between Tibet and the outside world. Therefore, Tibet's tourism resources are less affected by the industrial civilization of the outside world. The original appearance characteristics and connotation of tourism resources are retained. At the same time, the outside world has little knowledge and understanding of Tibet, which makes many tourism resources in Tibet mysterious and strange. Although Tibet has opened its closed door today, the mystery of Tibet still attracts many travel enthusiasts.

Evaluation of the Development of Tibet’s Tourism Resources

Although many tourism resources in Tibet do have extremely high value and monopoly in terms of tourism resources themselves, due to location conditions, Due to the influence of the tourism environment and development conditions, there are certain difficulties in the development of Tibet's tourism resources. environmental quality. The environment of the Tibetan Plateau is affected by specific natural and man-made factors, and is subject to less man-made pollution and destruction. Here, people can get rid of the influence of the bad environment, bathe in the blue sky, white clouds, green grass and clear water, and enjoy the fresh air . However, due to its higher altitude, Tibet has less oxygen content. For example, the oxygen content in Lhasa is roughly 65% ??of sea level. Therefore, people who first arrive on the plateau often experience certain symptoms of discomfort, and due to the dust in the atmosphere The small amount results in very strong ultraviolet radiation. During outdoor activities on the plateau, certain protective measures must be taken to avoid a series of plateau life problems such as ultraviolet damage to the skin. It is necessary to increase publicity to eliminate the fear of altitude sickness and take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of tourism activities in Tibet. Goes smoothly. Poor location conditions and poor accessibility. Tibet is located in the southwest of my country, far away from the densely populated central and eastern regions of my country, making the travel time too long, not to mention the time it takes for foreign tourists to enter Tibet. At the same time, Tibet is the only province in my country that does not have railway access so far. Tourism transportation mainly relies on air transportation and road transportation. Although air transportation has the advantage of convenience, it has relatively high transportation costs and limited transportation capacity, especially for summer tourism. During the golden season, one-way passenger flow has a great impact on tourism transportation. Road transportation freight is relatively cheap, but because the Qinghai-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet and other highway trunk lines are not high-grade and the road conditions are not very ideal, tourists will be troubled by long-distance bumps when entering by land. At present, the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has officially started. With the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the transportation problems that plague Tibet's tourism industry can be fundamentally solved. The geographical mix of tourism resources is poor. Tibet has a vast territory. Although the number of tourism resources is rich and the taste is high, the abundance of tourism resources is still small. In addition to the fact that tourists need to spend more time and money to enter Tibet, within Tibet, it is difficult to go from one tourist attraction to another. A tourist attraction also has great tourism resistance. Even in Lhasa, which has the most abundant tourism resources, the famous historical and cultural landscapes include the Potala Palace, Drepung Monastery, Ganden Monastery, Jokhang Temple, Norbulingka, etc. Most of them As a religious site, the tourist landscape is relatively simple. Most of the Yomblagang and Tibetan Tombs that are relatively close to Lhasa are more than 200 kilometers away, while Mount Everest is 600 to 700 kilometers away. Not to mention the distant Mount Kailash and the mysterious ruins of the Guge Dynasty. The scattered layout of scenic spots makes it difficult to form a scale and produce a "gathering" effect in development and utilization, which reduces the advantages of tourism resources in development and utilization. In this regard, in addition to increasing efforts to develop Lhasa, Shigatse, Shannan, and Nyingchi in the hinterland of Tibet In addition to the tourist areas in central cities, we must also vigorously develop ethnic customs, festival culture, ethnic customs and other highly attractive experiential tourism projects to improve the poor regional combination of Tibet's tourism resources.

Although the distribution and evaluation of Tibet's tourism resources are very rich, with ethnic and regional characteristics, and many tourism resources are irreplaceable even in the world, there are also unfavorable factors, such as geographical combinations. The impact of poor location conditions, poor accessibility, etc. on tourists. Therefore, strengthening the research on Tibet’s tourism resources, developing the potential of its tourism resources, and overcoming the negative factors are of extremely important significance to the development of Tibet’s tourism industry.
