LHASA  -- Tibet will re-open to visits by foreign tourists on Wednesday, the local authority said Tuesday.

An official named Tanor, the Tibet regional tourism administration deputy director, said two Swedish tourists would arrive in Lhasa on Wednesday. Four others from Singapore would come Sunday.

The success of the recent torch relay proved Tibet to be more stabilized and the time was right to reopen, he said. "Tibet is safe. We welcome the domestic and foreign tourists."

Travel agencies in the autonomous region stopped receiving tourists after the March riot for safety concerns. The tourism market reopened to domestic tourists on April 23 and tourists from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan on May 1.

As of June 20, the region had received more than 160 domestic groups since April.
