Tourism growth in Asia<\/p>\n
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): China will spearhead Asia's huge tourism
\ngrowth over the next six years, followed by India and Indonesia,
\na senior official of Visa International said yesterday.<\/p>\n
"Asia's meteoric economic growth and rising affluence will
\nmake it the fastest growing travel market in the 1990s and the
\ngrowth will come from within the region with China as the next
\nmajor travel generating country," said Francis Hsu, Visa's travel
\nmarketing director of the Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n
Asia's travel industry up to the year 2000 would be under-
\npinned by intra-regional growth, Hsu said in a statement,
\nreleased in conjunction with Visa's recent annual "Travel Think
\nTank" held in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n
The annual gathering of travel experts, which was initiated in
\n1992 in Hong Kong, is scheduled to be held in Bangkok next year.<\/p>\n
The Visa statement said the recent gathering highlighted the
\nneed for better coordination between national tourism
\norganizations and other industry components to woo more tourists
\nto the region.<\/p>\n
There should also be greater coordination in promotions among
\nairlines, hotel and travel agents to successfully market a
\ndestination, it said.<\/p>",
