Silk Road, Three Gorges next main attraction

China‘s National Tourism Administration delegation to the United States has announced plans to push the Silk Road and Three Gorges as the "leading actors" to attract overseas tourists in the future now that the Shanghai World Expo is about to close.
The Shanghai World Expo will close at the end of the month. The number of American tourists visiting China in the first eight months rose 7% year-on-year and this was attributed mainly to the Expo.
China‘s National Tourism Administration held a promotion fair in Los Angeles earlier this month focusing on the Silk Road and the Three Gorges. Wu Wenxue, the head of China‘s delegation, introduced the new outlook on China‘s tourism development plans.
The United States is currently one of the largest providers of foreign tourists to China.
China.org.cn reports the China delegation is going to hold more tourism promotion fairs in other US cities, including San Francisco.
