A memorandum was signed between the United States and China at the end of last year. With that, the United States has become a new place for public touring. After six-month' negotiation, Chinese citizens can now participate in package touring to the United Stated from June 16. It is said that the first tour team of Ningbo will leave for America on June 27.
Officials from Zhelun Overseas Travel Agency say quite many are eager to tour to the United States even though a trip there will cost a large sum of money, about 30,000 Yuan. It is said that the itinerary in the United States include Hawaii, Washington, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Hawaii, the western Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park.Interview:Tang Yiming, Director, Zhelun Overseas Travel Agency, "We will try to present our customers the best places in the United States in a period of 14 to 15 days."
It seems that Ningbo residents are expecting to visit as many places as they can in the United States. It is said that 7-day or 10 day tour is being considered so that it would not be so expensive to tour to the United States. What makes touring to the United States different from touring to other countries and regions is that travelers are supposed to obtain their visas through interviews in Shanghai, which needs appointment two or three months in advance.
Officials also mention that, since it is a long journey in the United States, travelers are expected to keep good health so that they can enjoy the tour that runs 14 days.
