At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit organized in San Francisco, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Joe Biden discussed improving the air connectivity between the two countries and streamlining the visa process. The discussion continued at a dinner hosted by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations and the US-China Business Council. At this dinner, Chinese President Xi confirmed that the tourism ties between the two countries will improve. There have been claims made by President Chris Thompson, the president and CEO of the Brand USA. These claims inform that the U.S. cannot completely recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic without Chinese tourism. Complete Chinese tourism has not resumed! Factors such as weak air connectivity and long visa wait times impact the overall tourism sector worldwide, including the U.S. and China. According to reports, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Chinese tourists contributed heavily to the U.S. economy. The Chinese tourists spent about $15 million when visiting the U.S.! In a year, the average number of Chinese who visited the U.S. was about 2.5 million people, and the way they boosted the U.S. economy was nowhere near any other market. It is due to this reason that the U.S. is improving its tourism ties with the Chinese government! According to President Geoff Freeman of the U.S., the international side of tourism is also impacted by the irregular and disturbed tourism ties between China and the U.S. This change will affect the Travel Association, the company's CEO, worldwide. He spoke at the Skift Global Forum that the market Chinese tourists support in the U.S. will only be available here. Let's look forward to a developed relationship between China and the U.S., starting from tourism. Read Also: Zanzibar Or Oman: Which Do The Hungarian Tourists Like?

Each year Americans celebrate Indigenous People’s Day as well as Columbus Day on October’s second Monday. The day intended to recognize and commemorate the legacy and beneficence of all the people who resided in the continent long before Columbus claimed (erroneously) of having “discovered” America. In 2021 President Joe Biden signed a proclamation that stated that the federal policies have “systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures.” Monday is Indigenous People's Day. We in California haven't called it Columbus Day as far as I can remember. Christopher Columbus may have been a good explorer but he treated Indigenous people like shit Including killing them. pic.twitter.com/cQiqv2lZhL— Larry (@Lfunguscal) October 9, 2023 Since then, Indigenous People’s Day has been formally accepted and celebrated all around the country. Many states celebrate Indigenous People’s Day officially, while others commemorate it in the form of proclamations. North of 100 cities have decided to replace Columbus Day entirely with Indigenous People’s Day. Children in school and office goers will likely enjoy a long weekend.
