Effects of Olympics on China's Economy

Chinese Tourism Expects a Boost from Olympics

The chief representative in China for Switzerland Tourism pointed out that Beijing, a city with a long history, would host more and more foreigners in the next few years, amid rapid urban construction.

the tourist sector has best witnessed China's thriving economic growth and its opening up to the outside world.

Perhaps the Olympics will not bring benefits to urban construction of other regions than Beijing. But as for tourism, that is another story, as most foreigners traveling to Beijing would often ask themselves, "Where is my next destination in China?"

"The bid success will also be conducive to building tourism infrastructure in different places. I estimate that local tourism bureaus will come to Beijing to do promotions before and after the Games," said a senior official with the China National Tourism Administration.

Many scenic spots will take active measures to improve their management levels, in the hope that they can be listed as one of the Olympics tour destinations.

Beijing's success demonstrates the strong confidence the world holds in China and it is a positive gesture to China's fast-growing economy.

Xu Shengli, a representative in China for the German National Tourist Office, said that Beijing's success will generate enormous power to stimulate the tourism industry just like nuclear fissions.

He said, the modernization of tourism demands constant exchanges among various nations. Beijing will host tens of thousands of international athletes and coaches, and embrace an unprecedented tourism wave in the next seven years."

Besides, Beijing can learn from Germany in terms of environmental protection and the efforts it contributes to energy saving.

Liu Dunren, director of the Canadian Tourism Committee in Beijing office said, "I am so gratified at Beijing's success. Montreal, where I used to live, has held the summer and winter Olympics. I believe Beijing will be more successful in seven years."

It is reported that several Chinese business investigation groups and individual tourists have traveled to Canada to learn advanced management.

With the exponential increase in tourists visiting China and the increase in quality of the services provided what can we foresee about China's future economy?

THINK THINK THINK O.O


China, Greece to cooperate in Olympic tourism promotion?


recently im sure everyone has seen the various advertisements on Beijing Olympics etc. What are the purposes of such advertisements? Solely to promote the fact that the next Olympics is to be held in Beijing? or are there other purposes e.g. attracting tourists to visit Beijing and various parts of China to submerge themselves in the olympic atmosphere, announcing to the world how organised China is now etc.
what are the benefits brought about by painting such a beautiful picture of China and olympics? attracting more foreign investors? boosting the confidence others(investors, consumers, producers) have on China?
