Mandarin-speaking guides, signage and brochures with Chinese translation, and meals of dumplings and congee are just some examples how tourism operators in Australia's Queensland are gearing up for the influx of Chinese tourists.

The hospitality providers are working hard to cater to the demand of the growing Chinese interest in Queensland as a tourist destination.

These are the kinds of services that will improve a Chinese visitor's experience and encourage them to come again as well as send a good message back home, says Violet Tian, China marketing coordinator at Tourism and Events Queensland.
