(Reuters) - A participant takes part in a Tibetan horse racing festival in Shangri-La, Yunnan province June 12, 2008. Tours were halted across the Himalayan region after anti-Beijing protests rippled across Tibetan-populated parts of China and devolved into rioting in Lhasa on March 14, just as the peak travel season should have been starting. Even when tourism eventually picks up -- and almost everyone here believes that is inevitable -- the tensions that some say led to the unrest may continue to go un-addressed. Since the rioting, most Tibetan areas have re-opened, although security remains tight and many travelers remain wary -- even of Shangri-la, where there were no protests or violence.
