Beijing - Tourism revenue fell by nearly 40 per cent in China's Tibet region over the week-long National Day holiday because of rioting and unrest in the region earlier this year, state media said on Monday.
The number of tourist arrivals fell by 36 per cent year-on-year to 257,000 during the one-week holiday, which ended on Sunday, the government's Xinhua news agency quoted a regional tourism official as saying.
Only 110,900 tourists stayed overnight in the region, down 41.5 per cent from last year, the agency said.
