Coincidence (巧合) could not provide a satisfactory explanation to the two events taking place on the same day. As a perfect example of one of the concrete results of the high-level dialogue between the two countries started by Chinese President Hu Jintao and U.S. President George W. Bush in 2006, the first Chinese tourist group’s arrival in the United States was widely reported by the Chinese media.
At the previous SED meeting last December, Chairman of the Chinese National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei and U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez signed an agreement between China and the United States to advance tourist group travel from China to the United States. Under this agreement, China agreed to give an “approved destination status” to the United States, allowing Chinese travel agencies to market tourism to American destinations and permitting U.S. destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public.
The agreement “is estimated to bring up to 100 million Chinese travelers to the United States over the next 15 years,” Paulson said.
But what people in the U.S. tourism industry care more about is how they can get a big slice of the pie.
“I’m getting calls already from people saying things like, ‘How do we get to do this?’ and ‘How do we attract Chinese tourists to our area?’” Marano told Beijing Review. Marano said she had been waiting for this market to be open for more than five years and that she was so excited now to see it finally happen.
