China's galloping double-digit economic growth has fuelled the rapid expansion of that country's middle class and Chinese tourists with disposable income have been hitting the road. Japan in recent times has seen a significant influx of visitors from the Middle Kingdom and, notwithstanding the distance, Jamaica, too, is looking to capitalise.
Bartlett described the potential for more visitors to Jamaica from China as "enormous" and his meetings with major tourism players, including the Chinese government minister responsible for aviation and the senior vice minister responsible for tourism, have left him decidedly upbeat.
