1.2 Potential conflicts for Tibet
Tibet is the one of the beautiful place in the world. It is full of diversified culture and
heritage which attract the visitors in large number. Dalai Lama is one of most attractive sites in
Tibet, which considered as most person in the world. It also has various kinds of culture and food
or beverage such as Tea which is prepared by the citizen in different manner. It is a place which
has large varieties of monuments, dynasty which is to be preserved so that it make great
influence in travellers (Opel and et.al., 2013.). Thus, Tibet is a place which provide different
kinds of facility to their customers. In order to this, government and legal bodies make their
efforts to manage the beauty as develop tourism industry. Minister also frame various kinds of
policies which help top conserve the past history for the new generations. Chinese government
also made several changes and apply process which are as follows:
Planning and land use: There are various kinds of policies are framed by the Chinese
government to make repair in their conservation activity. It is essential for developing an
appropriate plan because it is helpful to resolve the conflicts in interest which are arise. If plan

was not followed as per the effective manner than it make negative impact to make changes in
heritage industry. For example: Lhasa government show their interest to develop the monuments
and buildings. They only use the land for making renovation inn the structure so that it will
create conflicts in the situation (Opel and et.al., 2015). In Tibet, all the commercial land uses as a
commercial purpose so that it also create problems for heritage industry.
Access to new technology: To make development in heritage industry, Chinese
government make heavy expenses in the technologies. It increases the level of cost of the
government so that it create problems fort the legal authorities which fail to generate revenue
from them (Timothy, 2014). The new modification on the part of technology may add as value to
the technology.
Access versus Erosion: When any tourist activity is performed in any place, tourist may
look the place which are easy to access. It can be possible if there will be proper transportation
facility being provided top the visitors. To make easy access to transport help the visitor to visit
the place in a less time with comfort. In order to this, government make their efforts to provide
transportation facility to their visitors so they will be able ton track the mountain easily. Legal
authority also provide rest areas to the travellers during their travelling (Barile and Saviano,
2014). In Lhasa, Government plans to develop their transportation facilities in the place. But due
to erosion in environment, their condition will be highly affected. In this way, this situation
create conflicts for the authorities.
Impact of visitors on tourist places and environment: The Tibet is one of the best
place to visit. The government of china has taken various initiative to provide basic amenities to
the people who wishes to see the beauty of this place. The proper living facilities also provides to
the visitors who reach their destination mark. Usually this kind of arrangement attracts the
tourists (Barthel-Bouchier, 2012). By providing good facilities, The china government works as
increasing the rate of travelling activity. Any kind of dissatisfaction leads to shift visitors
attraction to other place which can harm the economy of china. Tourist come to new place to
visit to enjoy their moments of leisure. In this time they usually think about lavish arrangement
which mainly includes the accommodation and transport facility. So this all arrangement are
required to be done in specific manner. This also act as main part with the view of retaining the
beauty of place in the eyes of visitor.
