From AFP:
China re-opened Tibet to foreign tourists Wednesday after claiming victory over the worst unrest there in decades — which led Beijing to all but seal off the area from the outside world.
China’s crackdown in the wake of violent protests in Tibet in March drew international condemnation, and led to demonstrations in several countries that disrupted the Olympic torch relay ahead of the Beijing Games in August.
On the Tibet government website, spokesman Zha Nuo said the region would be re-opened for tourists — and that a trouble-free run for the torch through the Tibetan capital Lhasa on Saturday showed current stability.
