02 Jun Adirondack China-ready information meeting at The Wild Center June 17
• Did you know that Chinese tourists could help your bottom line?
• Did you know that the number of Chinese visiting New York State has increased in each of the last five years to 800,000 and will continue to grow?
• Did you know that the average Chinese tourist spends an average $7,200 per trip — well above the global average of $4,500?
• Did you know that Chinese people highly value mountains, water scenery and clean air?
• Is your business China Ready?
I Love New York has opened three offices in Mainland China to encourage more Chinese people to visit New York state. In March, with sponsorship from The Wild Center, the Adirondack Foundation and Adirondack Regional Tourism, The Wild Center’s Hillarie Logan-Dechene participated in the first ever I Love New York China Sales Mission.
Logan-Dechene represented both The Wild Center and the Adirondack region during the three-city tour speaking to hundreds of tour operators in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. On June 17, Hillarie will share what she learned and present some of the information I Love New York has disseminated during their “China Ready” trainings throughout the state.
For the Adirondack Region to benefit, many organizations need to work together to welcome this new market.
