Yhdysvalloista Kiinaan lähtevät MICE-turistit: Pysy vain kotona…

What about a free trip to Hawaii? It was too good to be true for 2000 Chinese Executives invited to an all expenses paid vacation by Nu Skin Enterprise.

What about a free trip to Hawaii? It was too good to be true for 2000 Chinese Executives invited to an all expenses paid vacation by Nu Skin Enterprise.

For Hawaii receiving 6000 qualified distributors from China is big business. For the Meeting and incentive travel and tourism market for the Aloha State having 6000 high spending tourists is a good reason to get excited.

Nu Skin Enterprise is an American multilevel marketing company which develops and sells personal care products and dietary supplements. Nu Skin was founded in 1984 in Provo, Utah.

Marriott Hotels with their new Starwood group included was the big winner able to host 4000 out of 6000 guests. Other hotels now look at nothing, since the United States Consulates in China and Hong Kong refused visas for approximately 2000 of the qualified distributors, a true embarrassment for Nu Skin and their 2000 clients.

This is surprising after the Obama administration worked with U.S. Travel Association and the Chinese outbound visitors industry, to advocate improvements in tourist visas for Chinese nationals. Having numerous direct flights from Honolulu to various ports in China, the Chinese tourism giant had remained a challenging market for Hawaii. Visa rejection and anxiety about President Trump’s travel ban are encouraging many “want to be Chinese tourists” to look at other destinations – and there are plenty of them.

Henkilökohtaisissa haastatteluissa, joiden on toimitettava 11 todistusasiakirjaa Yhdysvaltain viisumihakemuksella, tarve osallistua valmistelutunneille, Yhdysvaltain viisumin hylkäysaste viimeisimmälle Nu Skin -kannustinryhmälle on erittäin korkea. Kiireisillä kiinalaisilla johtajilla ei ehkä ole aikaa käydä läpi kaikkia Yhdysvaltojen hallituksen asettamia vaatimuksia vain päästäkseen vapaiden maahan.


In the meantime, Hawaii Tourism China is looking for new blood in reaching out to other MICE opportunities. They will market complimentary rooms for meeting planners, sponsored trips for decision makers. Let’s hope US Visas will be issued for the State of Hawaii marketing professionals to be successful in promoting its destination to remain on the radar for Chinese Meeting Planners.

Monet kiinalaiset mahdollisuudet etsivät kohteita kuten Balin, jossa tervetuliaismatto rullataan.
