China grants Canada approved destination status
Could mean a huge boost to tourism
Dean Recksiedler VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) | Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 9:13 am
VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - It's a move that could save BC's tourism industry - China has given Canada approved destination status.
The move makes it easier for Chinese tourists to come to Vancouver and spend their money here. How much? It could be as much as $100 million a year in new tourism spending.
Brad Davies with Virtually There Travel says it's fantastic news, "Post-Olympics there was a bit of a question mark how inbound travel was going to be handled into BC and Canada. This is just a long overdue shot in the arm for tourism."
Canadian tourism associations had been pushing Ottawa to make nice with China to get approved destination status but our past criticisms of the country's human rights record had been the sticking point.

oh. fuck.
Should have named the thread "Get ready for More Accidents". We all know they bought their licenses in China and they are allowed to drive with that in Canada.

Why the hate, if they're rich and can afford to travel it would definitely benefit our not so good retail stores.

I think ill deal with the minor invonvience of mainlanders (rudeness, apparent public urination) if they bring the tourism money.

Dude, keep in mind most of the mainlanders that will be able to travel to Canada or BC are those of the wealthier by far group. And I mean really wealthy. When you compare
$6.48 rmb to $1cdn and even teachers in mainland china only make $100cdn a month how long do you think it will take them to save enough for the airfare alone? Let alone, the expenses to be a "tourist" in Vancouver. Its not even for the middle class. Its only the upper class who will probably be able to afford to come here.
also another example:
$1 RMB buys you a can of coke in China
$1 CDN barely buys you a can of coke in Canada
Everything they spend will be 6 times the amount they pay at home, so most of the middle/lower class won't be able to afford much to travel here.

only the rich businessmen from china come here man
and they don't spit, pee outside, smell like a fob. but they do have this smugness of i can buy a $2000 leather jacket and not even blink. and pay cash.

their "do you know who i am?" attitude makes me and  at the same time
i give credit to the mainlanders who have adopted better social manners after spending years living in canada but the fobs can

can they take a etiquette lesson before they come here ...
all the talk about only rich ones will come here, is crap.
so many people come on tourists visa and declare refugee status. draining gov/our funds. if a business man from china wants to come to canada. he gets business visa..
all this is for tourist visa.
rather than coming on the boat, they will be coming via air china now...

i don't have any issue with Mainlanders though over Hongers that is, they seem to act the same way; rude, loud, spitting/shooting snot outta their nostrils (all those Ah Po's and Ah Ba's)
