More Chinese tourists are headed to America, thanks to new agreements between US and Chinese governments. And when they come to the US, they come to California.
"The Chinese are surprisingly big spenders when they come here, doling out about $6000 each -- more than visitors from any other nation. They also tend to stay longer -- a California state tourism agency study found that Chinese visitors spend 24.3 nights in the country and 15 in California, on average, while most overseas visitors spend about 10 days in the state.
"Big cities will benefit most as the ranks of Chinese tourists to the U.S. grow by an expected 80% over the next three years, to 579,000 visitors from 320,000 last year. As a favored destination for the Chinese and the only American city served by all three Chinese airlines, Los Angeles could cash in the most."
