Tourist arrivals from China are forecast to grow by nearly 200% over the next 5 years, eclipsing arrivals from both France and Germany by 2016. China is number 1 in spending per traveler to the U.S. The average Chinese tourist now spends about $6,000 per trip, up from $3,000 just two years ago. The high growth rate and contribution to the U.S. economy makes China's outbound tourism market a key component of the President's National Export Initiative, which seeks to double U.S. exports by 2015. This webinar will introduce ideas to assist U.S. retailers, hotel operators, tour operators, attractions, and destinations to build a greater understanding of how to serve and increase sales to the growing number of tourists from China. Topics will include: What sells, Chinese expectations, spending habits & payment preferences, as well as an overview of U.S.-bound Chinese tourism trends in arrivals and spending. Speakers: Ron Erdmann, Trade Specialist, U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Travel & Tourism Industries; Mr. ZJ Tong, Founder and President, Chicago Chinese Cultural Institute; and Ms. Ying (Ellen) Wu, North America Market Director, China UnionPay (USA) LLC .
