China-US tourism to fly high with stronger cooperation

China Daily  

By Yang Feiyue | CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2024-05-30 07:48 A US tour operator takes photos with Chinese performers wearing ancient folk costumes at the Twelve Hours of Chang'an theme block that vividly reproduces urban life in the Tang Dynasty, this month. A total of 386,000 Chinese travelers visited New York City last year, about 35 percent of the number in 2019, before the pandemic, when the city welcomed 1.1 million Chinese travelers, Dixon says. Officials and players in the tourism sector gathered to discuss its potential between China and the US at the recent 14th China-US Tourism Leadership Summit in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province. That's 4.7 times faster than the rise in overall overseas visits to the US during this period," said Grant Harris, assistant secretary for industry and analysis of the US Department of Commerce, at the summit co-hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China, the Shaanxi government, the US Department of Commerce and the US destination marketing organization Brand USA on May 22. Elliott Ferguson, president and CEO of Destination DC, Washington DC's official destination marketing organization, says he and his colleagues in many US cities recognize that, among source countries of inbound visitors, travelers from China spend the most and stay the longest.
