CHICAGO Leonard Floyd Jersey , Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- China and the United States vowed on Wednesday to further enhance bilateral cooperation in boosting tourism and people-to-people exchanges.
At a forum on China-U.S. tourism cooperation held here as part of the ongoing 25th session of the U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade (JCCT), visiting Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang said a recent decision by both governments to extend the validity of tourist visas for each other's citizens will provide great development opportunities for tourism industries of both countries.
Wang, who is co-chairing the JCCT session along with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Trade Representative Michael Froman in Chicago, pointed out that travel and tourism have enjoyed robust growth in China-U.S. commerce and trade cooperation, and also become a critical part of people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
Over the past decade, the number of tourists traveling between China and the United States has reached 28 million Eddie Jackson Jersey , with an annual growth rate of 10 percent.
According to the vice premier, the two countries should work together to make the total number of tourist visits each year exceed 5 million as early as possible, with 10 million as the next goal.
Stressing that tourism development can both produce economic benefits and promote friendship, Wang urged both sides to create a more travel-friendly environment through further simplifying entry and exit procedures, establishing a regular contact and information sharing mechanism, and expanding relevant investment cooperation.
In her address Tarik Cohen Jersey , Pritzker said that thanks to the recent change of visa policy, some 7.3 million Chinese visitors are expected to travel to the United States by 2021, contributing nearly 8.5 billion dollars a year to the U.S. economy and supporting as many as 440,000 American jobs.
She also mentioned the need for additional steps to support the increased travel demand that will accompany the visa validity extension, such as the expansion of airline capacity and infrastructure investment.
The tourism forum attracted more than 200 participants from governments and industry of both countries.
The three co-chairs of the JCCT session also attended and addressed several other events here, including a forum on China-U.S. agricultural and food cooperation Adam Shaheen Jersey , a roundtable on China-U.S. investment, and a luncheon with Chinese and American business leaders.
The JCCT session will conclude on Thursday afternoon following a closed-door plenary meeting.
Quite often our feet get quite ignored until they start to give us a bit of pain or discomfort, but a lot of foot problems could be well avoided with the correct walking shoes. In fact it doesn't matter whether you're standing, walking or running, as 'all' of your body weight falls directly onto the bottom of your feet. Therefore, support is vital Mitchell Trubisky Jersey , especially if you are someone who's always on the go.
Despite all the research and analysis done on foot care over the years, many of us still place style and design over quality, fitting, and comfort and this is especially the case amongst woman. When you think about it, it's quite often the women folk who come how after a long day and drop their knackered feet into a bowl of warm water for a good relaxing soak. But if they thought a little more carefully about the type of shoes they walked in before purchase, they wouldn't have such aches and pains in the first place.
Footwear has indeed come a long way in recent years which means it's possible to not only have shoes that are practical to walk in Anthony Miller Jersey , but fashionable too. Having said this, many of us only have one pair of 'best' shoes and we often buy all the others as kind of disposable items so as to keep up with the ever changing trends. In fact, my wife probably gets through a new pair of cheap shoes every couple of months or so, as she simply gets bored with the style and either hoards them in case of a fashion revival, or slings them out for good.
It's not always possible to get through to the ladies on the importance of good walking shoes, and that doesn't mean trekking boots James Daniels Jersey , or fancy netted athletic shoes either, but simply shoes that are both practical and comfortable to walk around in. The heels of my wife's feet seem to have a permanent plaster stuck to them and her feet are probably her biggest complaint. She, of course, is in denial and simply thinks it's normal for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet to suffer with such problems.
