Operator welcomes loosening of Tibetan travel restrictions

February 23, 2014 • admin

Small group adventure tour operator G Adventures has welcomed the comfort of restrictions for travel to Tibet this year.

Michael Edwards, managing director, G Adventures argued previous government policies regarding nationalities made it logistically difficult to verify travellers on Tibetan tours.

“Being ready to travel with people from other countries is a large portion of the G Adventures’ experience, so we welcome these changes which make it easier for our travellers to experience the fantastic thing about Tibet.”

While there are various restrictions still in place, essentially the mostsome of the most pertinent for travellers and agents seeking to book trips to Tibet are as follows:

  • There is not any longer a minimum collection of travellers required per nationality within a tour group.
  • For trips entering Tibet from China, permits might be granted for tour groups with travellers of 3 nationalities or less. Tours won’t be able to go into Tibet with four or more nationalities of passengers.
  • For trips entering Tibet from Nepal, there aren’t any restrictions at the selection of nationalities allowed per group.
