A Tibet Tourism Education Portal

Case Studies

There is a distinct lack of tourism case studies written for Tibetan areas of China. Seven case studies on tourism sites in Tibetan areas were written for this project. To aid in comparative analysis of sites the same format has been used for each case study. Three case studies from Bhutan were also written/edited in the same format. We're also included links to other published case studies from Nepal and other Himalayan regions to provide a more comprehensive collection of case studies for teachers to utilise.
