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. :facepalm:

[urrh]

great... just great

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

spitting, rudeness, lack of social manners, and generally smelling like fob.

[GLOW]

they're not moving here to live, just to visit and helping our tourism industry. i dont see the problem. we could use 100million/year dumped in to our economy.

[spoon.ek9]

i forgot public urination. i saw plenty of mainland tourists at value village and around richmond. they were awful, usually drunk and even tried to pay me in RMB. they looked at me as if i were strange not to take their foreign money.

drunk tourists & public urination? you sure they weren't visiting richmond from the vancouver mainland via that dam canada line? :p

[spoon.ek9]

haha no man... they friggin went pee in between the two buildings (value village and a chinese restaurant next door). there's a fucking toilet in both buildings.

[Presto]

spitting, rudeness, lack of social manners, and generally smelling like fob.

I just came back from Hong Kong, and there seemed to be a universal disdain for Mainlanders, and those were the top reasons for the hate.

so do the fucking crackheads and bums, come DT.....i see them everyday,everywhere


:mad::mad::mad:

[Jsunu]

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

[1exotic]

We need more people from Dubai to come here with there cars, guys in fucking gold Veyrons and gold Zonda's.. ballin.

[wouwou]

wait, I though Canada was among the first counries to negotiate for ADS,

then pissed China off with Lai,

and now Harper is in China asking for ADS after 138 countries got it?

[dohboi]

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.

truth is 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.

[pure.life]

maybe this is the opportunity for me to land a rich mainland girl

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

good luck

[bcedhk]

hey, maybe the girl who met obama will come.

[spoon.ek9]

I just came back from Hong Kong, and there seemed to be a universal disdain for Mainlanders, and those were the top reasons for the hate.

they're loud and obnoxious and aren't afraid to show it. this is the way things work in mainland china, cheat or be cheated. they also like to project superiority by being cocky and rude. works in china, not so much here in canada. have you ever heard of calling the cops because a canadian was so offended by asking for ID with a credit card before? don't think so.

their "do you know who i am?" attitude makes me :facepalm: and :lol 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 :gtfo:

last note: more money =/= more manners

so do the fucking crackheads and bums, come DT.....i see them everyday,everywhere


:mad::mad::mad:

i work DT lol.. the bums i see on davie aren't so bad (most days).

[shenmecar]

last note: more money =/= more manners


I would say its inversely proportional. More money = Less manners.

[tool001]

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...

[StylinRed]

can they take a etiquette lesson before they come here ...

that's like asking people in Richmond to take a driving lesson





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)

[q0192837465]

It's sad how the Chinese people had gone downhill by so much. The barbaric European used to admire the Chinese culture back in the days......so much have changed since then.

[spoon.ek9]

hahaha you can't compare mainlanders to honger ar pors and ar bats. mainlanders of all ages spit and shoot snot out of their noses. the "adults" and their kids are the bigger problem.

[4doorVIP]

These people shoot snot out of their noses in public? LOL

[dohboi]

Japanese people drink piss and eat shit as fetishes... you're being very stereotypical

[Z3guy]

spitting, rudeness, lack of social manners, and generally smelling like fob.

I am asian, and I have to agree with you....I hate being associated with rich mainlanders with zero class......

[Z3guy]

Japanese people drink piss and eat shit as fetishes... you're being very stereotypical

at least they do in the privacy of their homes and not in public......

They come as a visitor but during their visit, they will stay and become an illegal immigrant. Over time, they gain some sort of refugee status. Then they start mooching off welfare. Yay!

[Jsunu]

Maybe, or maybe they will work illegally in a richmond resturant, get caught and get deported.

come on.. i don't see that huge of illegal immgrants in the same scope as say between US and Mexico.

[!SG]

umm, they are tourists, not immigrants. there is a big difference.

and thats IF they can get a travelling visa. not everyone can attain one to travel the world let alone travel to hk itself. the ones that do get them, generally are wealthier and if they so choose to visit canada, that means they will be spending their money in canada.


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. :facepalm:

[godwin]

Why bother, when you can come here for university / college and guaranteed residency / citizenship after you graduate, provided that you can hold a job a year?

They come as a visitor but during their visit, they will stay and become an illegal immigrant. Over time, they gain some sort of refugee status. Then they start mooching off welfare. Yay!

i bet joe45 is peeing his pants with anticipation while planning what bus stops to stake out

guys i totally heard mainlanders are super nice and generous, and are very well mannered






oh wait

[liu13]

you guys really care about other ppl's manners? if they bring in the money i'm all for it, they can let the bin laden family in for all i care

[ZenZa]

Mainlanders are the only people I have ever seen come out of a LV/Prada/Gucci store with multiple bags of merchandise.

Or bet $2000 on a single hand of baccarat, and playing at 4 tables at the same time.

Absolutely horrible social manners, but no other country can boost your economy from tourism as much as China can right now.

[oinkoinkpig]

Took the words out of my mouth....

Well at least while I was in GZ they kept playing these ads on TV trying to teach ppl social etiquette...

But yes, generally (rich) mainlanders are cocky, rude motherfuckers who think they are the shit.

Yup. I don't think anyone realizes just how hard it is to get a China Visa to get in. Let alone getting OUT of China.
You pretty much have to have enough money to own pretty expensive property, have a family, and have the cash to buy a plane ticket.
Then there's the spending they will do when they get here.

The mainlanders that are in HK etc are not a reflection of the ones with manners. Not all of them are rude.

[RFlush]

Half of you guys are fucking retards and it clearly shows who is still in high school and who is not.

This is why Vancouver can never be a great international city. It's the mindset of you idiots that ruin the image of the city. Have some of you guys even been to another country before? I highly doubt it. Go to HK, Seoul, China, Singapore, Malaysia and look at what they do to attract tourists and look what Vancouver does, shit all except for Whistler.

They are talking about letting more TOURISTS into Canada, not relaxing immigration. How many of you teenidiots work in retail? Work in service industry? You are saying you don't want more customers to keep your jobs? Are you saying you don't want more money in our economy? You don't want to make Vancouver a more international city so maybe we can have more investors in here? You are are truly single minded dumbfucks.

You think the mainlanders are rude and have no manners? It sure sounds like half of you guys here are more arrogant and rude. Go out and see the world, you think westerners are model citizens? Give me a break. I am in HK right now and I saw some Canadian guy bitch and cry because the police asked to see his HKID or passport. The little baby was saying "you don't have the right" and all that bullshit, but guess what, they DO have the right. Understanding each other's cultures go both ways, but the way you guys talk, it is starting to make spitting on the street better than your attitudes (by the way, I don't know how many countless times I have seen skater boys and punks spit in front of malls, at bus stops, dt etc). Also you want more clean? At least in HK and SZ they have trash cans everywhere to put your garbage in and if you put your cigarette on the floor, you will get fined if caught. Vancouver? I see everyone just throwing their butts on the floor. Great example there.

Well whatever I say, you idiots will just continue to bash or what not. I am sure you guys are setting a fine example of high etiquette standards and being polite.

[SpuGen]

I have traveled to Shanghai and Beijing for work. I got a huge shock when I got the weekend off while in Shanghai and decided to do some shopping, people will be on the phone while crossing the street and bump right into you and start cursing you stuff like " &@*^$(&^# do you even have a pair of eyes" etc.

I'm asian but this sort of behavior is really unacceptable. I've seen mainlanders write a cheque in full for a 750, M3 etc so yeah, I know they are rich, but that does not give them the right to be rude and disrespectful while visiting our country.

[JSALES]

great..

[Mr.HappySilp]

I dealt with many many chinese customers and I can tell you, the richer they are, they more fucking cheap they are. They could agure with you for hours and hours for $1 and will be as cheap and possible while getting the most of out what they can. I always tell them fuck off.

EDIT: There is an old saying The more rich people are they more cheap they are. How do you think they become rich? They save as much as they can while getting the most benfit.

I'm sure a lot of teenidiots who work retail and in the service industry would NOT want to serve rude mainlanders. It's bad enough as it is sometimes with the faux-gangster kiddies running around. Sometimes it just isn't worth it.

While I understand that no culture is perfect and that we have different attitudes towards different things, it's amazing how many things mainlanders get wrong. It's bad to generalize mainlanders as a whole, but the truth of the matter is A LOT of them are pompous little bitches. Like people always say... stereotypes exist for a reason.

Good point. But to me, it seems like those in the service and retail industry who are selective on who they want to serve while working at a job that they are suppose to do sound like more pompous little spoiled bitches to me.

[twitchyzero]

rich chinese businessmen = SUPER arrogant
but doesn't really bother me since I dont live in DT so i wont have to deal with these cocky tourists all that much

[Harvey Specter]

I laugh at the people who voted for Harper and the conservatives thinking they would actually stem the flow of immigration instead they got a PM who's giving out visas like there's no tomorrow. And China isn't the only country he's promised more visas or relaxed rules for visa applicants, he also promised more visas during his trip to Punjab so it's obvious that he's trying to get support within the Chinese’s and Punjabi communities for the next election.

[oinkoinkpig]

^guess there's going to be more fights in clubs




jokess

[TOPEC]

u guys need to stop fking stereotyping all mainlanders.
as people already pointed out, not everyone can afford to travel to canada
and the ones that CAN usually are more educated and neat

within every culture theres the good and the bad
not everyone is perfect there, SAME GOES FOR HERE

majority of u guys hate on the rich mainlanders here because they drive nicer cars and live better off than u,
or hate the poor mainlanders because they're poor and are less educated than u r.
give them a fking break, not everyone is PERFECT

[TRDood]

lol @ the comments. definitely there are going to be some negative externalities here. take a look at Macau. sure they are getting lots of mainland customers but their city is getting abused.

you can always take the man out of China, but you can never take the China out of the man. lol

[slammer111]

Totally depends on where they're from. Just like how over here we have rednecks vs urban folks. Over there it's the same thing. The unedumacated ones from the small towns are the ones that stick out. You don't notice the FOBs here that are attending med or law school; they are more the homey type.

I was recently in Beijing and EVERYONE was quite nice, even in most of the dingy areas. I was quite shocked actually after hearing all the stories from back home. Meanwhile, in Xian, taxis would swear at you and lock their doors if you tried to board them before they reached their terminals. GZ people are definitely rough around the edges; the city's a huge 'hood.

With that said, the only industries that benefit directly from all this added tourism in the short term is the service industry. If you work in a restaurant or hotel, more tips for you. :D Next would be the car/real estate industries. For those who work professional jobs, the impact will be pretty much negligible unless these immigrants actually start BUSINESSES here instead of just buying stuff to use.

With increased tourism WILL come increased immigration though. What the cities need to do is increase the living density all around the downtown areas so curb urban sprawl and keep property prices down.

[124Y]

Every culture has its stereotypes, and yes, the stereotypes exist for a reason. I've served a lot of Chinese people (worked @ a Karaoke place) and some of the Mainlanders I've met are really nice and well-mannered. However, from experience, the majority are like the stereotypes (cheap, loud, rude, arrogant, and etc.).

one thing i'm telling you, if you hate the mainlainders, rob them, they ususally carry stack of $CAD 100 in that purse.. better yet, they dont speak english.. take advantage of that instead of piss off on the interent

I highly doubt it. Go to HK, Seoul, China, Singapore, Malaysia and look at what they do to attract tourists and look what Vancouver does, shit all except for Whistler.

Whenever I visit other countries, I make sure I do my best to fit in. I attempt to communicate in the local language, eat at places frequented by locals, and I don't do anything to draw attention to myself. Therefore, I'm entitled to my "holier-than-thou" attitude about visitors who do not do the same when they come to Canada.

To some, Vancouver is heaven on earth and therefore we don't need any more people with whom to share this place. To heck with the economy - I want my view of the mountains, my access to the beach, and a place to park my car for free.

Sure, I'm being tongue-in-cheek, but these sentiments are just underneath the surface. Check out Craigslist, the West Ender, or the Georgia Straight.


Also you want more clean? At least in HK and SZ they have trash cans everywhere to put your garbage in and if you put your cigarette on the floor, you will get fined if caught. Vancouver? I see everyone just throwing their butts on the floor. Great example there.


Shenzhen may have a subway system and garbage cans, but it's still a classless city. I like Hong Kong though (perhaps because the British civilized the place before they left.)

I reckon that most of the rich Mainlainders got rich through their stakes in government-owned businesses. Money never buys class.

I wouldnt compare Revscene clowns with the rest of community.
The majority will welcome tourism from China.
This will benefit Canada in many ways.
The negativity are usually from the ignorant and uneducated.
Dont take it personally... it only feeds the mindless trolls.

[asahai69]

its all good as long as they dont get behind the wheel of a car.

[dachinesedude]

every culture has their bad apples and thats true, but if we talking about percentage, the chinese still has the most bad ones by numbers, out of all other cultures, thats why they're seen all the time?

but yea, bring in the money, but not the immigrants

[silk]

i laugh at the logic here bring in the money but not the immigrants.. lol

if they like Canada, they will apply for immigration... With the money they brought in Canada... canadian governemnt are never going to refuse them :D It never hurts for Chinese to have Canadian citizenship rather than holding a China passport

thats how it works ... money talks
