Australia and China sign MoU
Australian and China have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at boosting tourism between the two countries.
Key to the agreement is the aim of building a successful and sustainable Approved Destination Status (ADS) scheme, to ensure Chinese visitors travelling to Australia under the scheme enjoy a quality holiday experience.
The MoU “signals the continued commitment of both governments to fostering the growth of sustainable and quality tourism,” according to Australia’s Tourism Minister Fran Bailey.
Ms Bailey said ensuring the quality of the experience of inbound Chinese tourists was a key objective of both the Chinese and Australian governments.
“We must ensure that Chinese visitors are treated fairly, and that the integrity and reputation of the Australian tourism industry is protected.
“Through the strengthened ADS scheme and the MoU, both the Chinese and the Australian Governments have shown their commitment to delivering quality tourism products.”
