Tibet Tourism Bureau used to allow a foreigner to have free tour activities in Lhasa area if he or she holds a TTB permit, but not since March, 2008. The new regulation insists on a well-organized group for any foreigners, which means every group, even a one-participant one, must be escorted by a guide and a tourist vehicle touring along the prearranged time and route.
