Media Advisory: Minister Joins Federal
Tourism Mission to China
The Honourable Terry French, Minister of
Tourism, Culture and Recreation, is participating in a Canada Trade
Mission to China, beginning today (Monday, October 18) and concluding
October 20.
The Canadian delegation is led by the
Honourable Rob Moore, federal Minister of State for Small Business and
Tourism.
The Canada Trade Mission to China is designed
to explore opportunities to capitalize on the emerging Chinese tourism
market, following the announcement in December 2009 that China had
granted Approved Destination Status (ADS) to Canada. ADS opens the doors
to Chinese tour groups to visit Canada, and for Canadian jurisdictions
and tour operators to directly target the Chinese market.
