The Chinese tourists stormed into a Louis Vuitton Shop and have bought, for some of them, more than ten bags ! The US have to face now a big issue, because the US tourism structures are not ready to welcome Chinese tourists, because of the lack of knowledge of the intercultural issues. What do the Chinese tourists really want ? What do they like to eat ? What do they like to do ? ATME (Associaton of Travel Marketing Executives) organized in February 2009 a very interesting think tank about the Chinese outbound tourism in cooperation with China Elite Focus and our Managing Partner, Mr Pierre Gervois, one of the best experts about Chinese outbound tourists, made a conference about these intercultural issues for the US tourism operators. The biggest issue is to understand that the Chinese tourists do not think like westerners at all.
