Happy days here again in Tibet

Tibet welcomed its first batch of foreign tourists yesterday, after a hiatus of more than three months following the March 14 riots in Lhasa.

The first two foreigners to arrive in the regional capital were from Sweden, Liao Lisheng, a spokesman for the Tibetan tourism bureau, said.

Four tourists from Singapore will arrive on Sunday, Tanor, deputy director of the bureau, told a press conference on Tuesday.
