will acknowledge your value and sophistication as
their expert travel guide. This summer China will
offer American visitors more than ever, with affordable
vacation packages, new air routes, new hotels and
attractions. It is the perfect choice for first
time visitors and a great opportunity for seasoned
China travelers. Summer travel memories are something
to treasure for the rest of the year. This summer

fantastic trip to China. For some great vacation

Hainan…
China's Tropical Island
Hainan
is more than just another island. A separate Province
of China, Hainan lies off the south coast of the
mainland, in the South China Sea. Because of it
southerly location and its' tropical climate,
some have referred to it as China's Hawaii. Tourism
has discovered Hainan and the Island is alive
with development. About the size of Belgium, Hainan
offers travelers many choices of experiences.
Sanya,
China's only tropical resort city by the sea is
situated on the southern-most part of Hainan.
The international airport of Sanya offers direct
service to over 63 domestic & international
airports. Here visitors can select from city locations,
quiet bays or bustling resorts. The seafood, beaches
and tropical delights will offer a memorable holiday.
Haikou,
located in the northern part of Hainan will offer
your clients a completely different aspect of
Hainan. Haikou is the most historic and culturally
attractive city on Hainan Island. Here travelers
arrive via an international airport with direct
flights to 70 cities. An express train offers
service to Sanya, along with "spectacular
views of tropical forests and the sea."
Two
interesting Cities, two modern accessible airports,
a warm tropical climate and centuries of history
all make Hainan Island a wonderful vacation choice
for today's traveler searching for something new.

Tourism to China Continues to Grow |
|
Thanks
to the travel industry in the U.S., the
arrivals from America continue to grow.
This is important for many reasons. With
all the news of natural disasters in parts
of the Pacific, strong tourism growth shows
the importance of China as a tourism destination.
Sophisticated agents and clients realize
China's location and uniqueness and see
no need to postpone a visit. In the first
3 months of 2011 the U.S. was the fourth
largest source market for inbound tourists
to China, with a total of 468,600 U.S. arrivals
from January through March 2011. A
healthy growth rate of 8.86% shows the market
is strong. Thank you for your continued
support.

| Cruising
in China |
|
Americans
are crazy about cruising. In 2011, over
12 million people will embark on a cruise
vacation in North America. Not surprisingly,
the cruise market is growing even faster
outside of the US. The attraction of a cruise
vacation is that it offers a pre-packaged
assortment of meals, sightseeing, transportation
and lodging. Well these same benefits are
also available to cruisers in China.
 Today's
cruise market in China offers a wide variety
of products, companies, and destinations.
Major seaports such as Shanghai and Hong
Kong are visited year-round by vessels of
all the major cruise lines. In addition
there are regional companies offering coastal
excursions. Perhaps the most well known
cruise experiences are the river cruises.
The
Yangtze River is one of the largest and
most famous rivers in the World. Today's
travelers can sail the same routes, which
for centuries have been the life blood of
commerce and communication within China.
Cities, villages, seaports , farms and the
magnificent Three Gorges dams, all can be
seen from the comfort of a modern river
cruise ship, without ever unpacking. Next
time a cruise client asks "Where can
I go on my next cruise?"..tell them
China. It's is the Cruise destination that
offers it all.
