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. |
