Making Forays into China
Increased visitation to South expected
China is now an official TSUSA Global Partner Program country. Chinese visitation has grown exponentially to the U.S. and the South is well positioned to better increase its share of these high-spending visitors. Recently, Travel South established a vital relationship with East West Marketing Corp. who will be the TSUSA official Chinese rep firm.
In September, TSUSA undertook an immensely successful Chinese sales mission. After months of planning, this trip will yield increased visitation to the South for many years to come.
