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.
