Chinese tourists flock to Europe

More Chinese tourists have travelled to Europe in the past year than ever before. 29 European countries received Approved Destination Status (ADS) from the Chinese government this year, and as a result, thousands of Chinese travellers have headed to Europe for the first time, reports Focus on Travel News http://www.ftnnews.com . This Approved Destination Status means that Chinese citizens are able to travel to the approved countries without needing to apply for a special permission. The change has been so rapid that the number of flights between China and Europe has grown by 61 percent compared to September last year.
