China-US tourism to fly high with stronger cooperation

China Daily  

Visitors from home and abroad attend a traditional music performance at the theme block. Kevin Yeung Yun-hung, secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, says since the cross-border tourism industry resumed in February last year, about 800,000 American travelers have visited Hong Kong. A center for cultural, artistic and educational exchanges between China and the world, Hong Kong's rich Chinese culture has been highly attractive to international visitors, Yeung notes, adding that the city will leverage local characteristics to attract more overseas tourists. Sun Bowen, executive secretary-general of Trip.com Group's research institute, says inbound travel orders via the online travel agency, a major tourism platform in China, quadrupled in the first three months over the same period last year. Among the American travelers coming to China, those born in the 1980s and '90s make up about half and their main destinations include major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong province's Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Sichuan province's Chengdu, Jiangsu province's Nanjing, and Zhejiang province's Hangzhou, he says.
