Tibet: limitless opportunities attract business

Tibet has been increasingly attractive to investors with its improvement on the infrastructure and business environment since China began to implement the strategy of developing the country's west region. Contracts were signed for 313 projects which were worth 4.72 billion yuan in 2004, with 1.566 billion yuan already in place. The contracts involved farming and stock raising, the ecological construction, tourism, Tibetan medicine, mining and real estate.
