The delegation arrived in China on September 9.

Before arriving in Shanghai, they also toured Beijing, Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, and the Three Gorges. Their itinerary included exploring accommodation, dining options, scenic attractions, transport facilities, and inbound tourism facilitation measures in China. The purpose of this event is to spur more US tourists to visit China and to consolidate the achievements of the 14th China-US Tourism High-level Dialogue, Xinhua News Agency reported.

From savoring delectable local cuisines to marveling at the seamless convenience of digital payments, the agents were eager to share the magic of China with American tourists and explore the potential for expanding the US-China tourism market. With interest in travel to China on the rise, overseas agents are proactive in developing innovative travel products that highlight the unique blend of history and modern amenities that China offer.
