U.S. Eager to Cater to Chinese Tourists at California Malls
Southern California malls like South Coast Plaza woo growing Chinese tour groups by accepting UnionPay and offering Mandarin-speaking staff. The trend follows a surge in Chinese visitors to the United States since a 2007 tourism pact, with California as the top arrival state and an expected rise to over four million visitors by 2018. Local tourism officials and hospitality providers seek to highlight proximity, parks, and familiar conveniences to entice spending.
