Lhasa and Tibet are places I would very much like to visit again, but I am afraid at what I would find. When I was there in 1987 there was very little tourist "development" - no big hotels, only guest houses, and no restaurants or bars catering to the tourist trade. I fear things are very different now. And it's not even as if the increase in tourist numbers has helped the Tibetans so much - I'm sure most of the money goes into Chinese pockets. I wonder if the growth in Chinese economic power will help Tibet or simply to accelerate it's destruction.
