Food and drink intake plays a huge role in the tourism industry. During holidays everyone is bound to eat and research has shown that tourists are as attracted to culinary experiences as they are to the natural beauty of their destination. Travelers are also seen to be willing to pay more for local food and unique tastes. Keeping this in mind the Maru-Maru Hotel in the Stone Town has decided to involved the tourists in this hotel. The staff led by chefs will be mixing the ingredients for a special cake for this year's Christmas Holiday.

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?
