In summer
of 2004, an official US tourism office was established
in China. During its opening news conference
attended by the US Embassy's visa consuls and
the US government officials, a clear welcome
message was sent to the ordinary Chinese citizens
who intend to visit the USA as a tourist. On
December 6th, 2004, a Sino-US Tourism Memo was
signed in order to promote tourism into both
countries. As of January 15th, 2005, Chinese
citizens for the first time started to obtain
multiple entry visas into the USA. Today, Chinese
tourists are considered VIPs in western countries,
and ordinary Chinese citizens vacationing in
the USA is nolonger a dream. |
