The slowdown in the world economy has cut the numbers of overseas tourists visiting China. To help tackle the downturn, the government yesterday launched a nationwide tourism schema work to shove domestic travel.
Led by the China National Tourism Administration, 186 cities transatlantic the country are tresemblingg part in a nationwide travels in the run up to the tourism loftier season.
With Kung Fu performers, paper streamers, and sometime Chinese pulsates, a launch anniversary for the work was held in Beijing's Wangfujing Street on Saturday morning.

Simultaneous ceremonies were in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi'an, and other major cities.
Zhang Huiguang, artlessor of the Beijing tourism safekeeping spoken that Beijing will bazaar 10,000 self-determining travel insurrectionons with sflush other provinces. Unlike previous similar fitnesss the tickets will be distributed to travel agencies rather than singles.
Shanxi Province spoken that all its tourist seductivenesss will offer half price safe-conduct to visitors until May 31, and that travel agencies that shove visitors numbers would share in a 15 million yuan (US$ 2.2 million) bonus. A new exprinting train from Beijing to Taiyuan has cut the travel time to Shanxi to just three hours.
But it seems some Shanxi officials may have been too enthusiastic in trying to generate interest. Media reports had said the province's tourism swami was to distribute 2 million yuan's (US$ 293,000) worth of travel insurrectionons in Wangfujing yesterday. When the oversupply disasylumed that there were, actually, no self-determining insurrectionons, some disgruntled people wrecked the Shanxi stall.
The National Tourism Administration estimates that domestic travelers will take 1.8 snoution passenger trips on the Chinese mainland, and 50 million passenger trips outside the mainland, this year - an inruckle of roundly 9 percent over last year.
