American is opening the door to Chinese tourists 美国向中国敞开旅游观光的大门

For the first time, America is opening its door to Chinese tourists. According to today's news, the deal, signed by US Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez in Beijing, will allow Chinese travel agencies to market packaged leisure tours to American destinations, and it will permit U.S. destinations to advertise directly to the Chinese public.

With the booming economy, more and more Chinese people travel outside the homeland each year. The number is expected to be tripled to 100 million by the year 2020. According to recent calculation, Chinese travelers spend average of $6000 per visit. No doubt that opening doors for Chinese tourists to US will bring in billions of dollars to American travel industry.

美国终于将向中国敞开旅游观光的大门。据今天的新闻报道，美国商业秘书卡洛斯已在北京签署了一项协议，中国旅行社将在中国推销去美国的团体观光旅游，美国的旅游城市也可以直接在中国做旅游观光广告。

随着中国经济的飞速发展，每年有越来越多的中国人去国外旅游。预计到2020年，去国外旅游的人数会增长几乎三倍，达到约一亿的数字。据最新的计算，在美国的中国旅游者在美国一趟旅游平均消费六千美金。无疑，向中国敞开旅游观光的大门将为美国的旅游业赚取上亿美金。
