The Tibet Autonomous Region is one of the most exciting aviation markets on the planet. Over the past 10 years, the Central Government in Beijing has invested CNY310 billion (USD46 billion) in Tibet – equivalent to almost USD15,000 per person – building infrastructure and developing mining, agriculture and tourism industries. This is expected to continue, with China’s President Hu Jintao stating earlier this year that the government would seek to "fast-track" development in Tibet, to enhance security in the region, with plans to raise infrastructure quality and agricultural incomes to national levels by 2020.
