The Tibet Tourism Bureau has announced to launch several kinds of activities on the mountain during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, aiming to attract more tourists to Tibet. The Olympic torch will reach Mt. Qomolangma in May 2008, and related work is under preparation by Tibet Autonomous Region government. The bureau believed that climbing the mountain in winter would cost less, and people could appreciate the beautiful snowscape, but in summer, the foggy weather would make it hard for people to see it.
