Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.
When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.
Coupons are being issued to tourists in a move to boost tourism in Tibet, reports Xinhua the Chinese state news agency, this despite claims by China that there are record numbers of tourists visiting Tibet. Coupons worth 30 million yuan (about US$4.4 / £3.6 million) were provided to reduce ticket prices along with subsidised fares, tariffs and fees. Subsidies are normally offered only during winter months.
