Australia
today became the first non Asian country to be
recommended as a tourist destination by the Peoples
Republic of China. The total number of tourists from
China is expected to reach 500,000 by the year 2006.
Chinese tourists will, however, be required to post a
bond of $10,000 dollars to ensure their return to the
mainland. Tourists failing to return to China will
forfeit their bond. Although Australia has an excellent
record in housing refugees, tourists overstaying their
visa can expect to be deported with little ceremony.

some disquiet about the nature of the campaign, and the
image of Australians it seeks to promote overseas. |
