South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which is
abundant in tropical sea-sun-sand resort, will host more tourists
from Russia, sources with the region's tourism bureau said
Wednesday.
According to an agreement on promoting Guangxi's sea resort
sealed earlier this week between the bureau and a tourist agency
from Russia, more than 10,000 Russian tourists are estimated to
tour Guangxi in 2007, ten times the number in 2006.
Last year, the Russian agency made successful promotion in
Guangxi's neighboring Hainan Province, which attracted 100,000
Russian tourists to the southern island.
To further implement the agreement, the agency will organize
inspection teams to Guangxi in March and April, and Guangxi will
also send a delegation to Russia carrying out the promotion
work.
