Nikki White, from ABTA, said: 鈥淭he London event was an interesting opportunity to hear an update from the Beijing Tourist Board. Beijing is a fascinating city, and increasing numbers of our members have itineraries that include the city. We look forward to continuing the relationship and developing a deeper understanding of how they can interact with the UK industry.鈥�

The aim was to welcome senior travel industry figures and associations, travel agents, tour operators and travel media, and to give them the opportunity to network with the delegation. The Beijing Tourist Board delegation went on to attend the Phocuswright Europe event (12-14 May) in Ireland, promoting further business and ties with Europe.

While in the UK, the Beijing Tourist Board highlighted business and leisure developments that have been central to the appeal of a city that attracts a significant percentage of the 570,000 UK visitors to mainland China each year.[/fusion_builder_column] [fusion_builder_column type=”1_2″ spacing=”yes” last=”yes” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding=”” class=”” id=””]
