China adds 3 nations to tourist destinations
China has added Brazil, Argentina and Chile to its list of approved destinations for group tours. Travel agencies will be able to organize tours to those countries, all visited by President Hu Jintao this week, after China's tourism authority has finalized visa procedures and guide issues with them. Chinese travellers are expected to be drawn to Brazil's rainforest, Chile's volcanoes and Easter island, and Argentina's Moreno Glacier, it said. China's tourist destinations now cover more than 60 countries. Cuba was approved as a Chinese travelers' destination last year and since September 1 Chinese tourists have been able to go to 27 European countries. The World Tourism Organization has predicted that China will become the world's fourth biggest source of tourists by 2020. The organization said more than 20 million Chinese travelers went abroad last year, surpassing the number of Japanese travelers for the first time to become the highest from Asia, it said. |
