A China Daily report on March 21 quoted a Chinese official that China wants the US and Canada to open their doors to Chinese visitors asap.
Some figures of the story show: 1. 132 countries and regions have become tourist destinations for Chinese travelers; 2. 34.5 million Chinese traveled overseas last year and the number is growing by double digits annually, and "In 2007, the figure is likely to hit 40 million"; 3. The United Nations World Tourism Organization has estimated that China will become the No 1 tourist destination and be the fourth largest outbound market by 2015; 4. US received between 30 million and 50 million tourists a year;
Replying to [Feiyun Gift]: yes, these countries should open up to Chinese tourists, as long as these people are identified as real tourists, hehehe....
