China's next big travel trend: U.S. TV show tours

Fri, 02/24/2012 - 09:59 — Anonymous by CNNGo staffNow that the U.S.
government has started streamlining the visa process for Chinese travelers,
China's fast-growing tourism market has spotted a new way to zip about the
United States: travel with fewer people but more focus. One Shanghai-based
travel agency recently launched a "U.S. TV show tour" on its website,
grabbing the attention of Chinese netizens and U.S. TV series addicts. TV
shows: travelers' window to the U.S. The 10-day cross-country tour is
organized by Yi Xiang Consultancy (逸香高端定制), a travel agency
specializing in high-end customized outbound trips, and is scheduled to take
off on April 2. Priced at RMB 19,800 (US$3,143), the 20-strong group is set
to touch down in Los Angeles, where they can do V-sign poses in and around
the Nokia Theater (where the 2011 Emmy Awards were presented), take in the
Grammy Museum and swing by a certain TV set to catch the crew in action (Yi
Xiang has yet to reveal the name of the TV show). The group will then head to
Las Vegas for the crime lab in "CSI," which wil be followed by a visit to San
Francisco's Alcatraz Island.read more
