Seems that some countries are more developed than others ( east Europe)

@donbabilio8298 Compare the roads today and the airports ,the railways. I dislike the government there, but give credit to where it's due.

@pushslice It depends on which Western tourists are enjoying themselves. Not all chinese tourists are rich. Those that travel are so. They buy luxury items, stay in 5* hotels and spend more per person than any other tourists. I've never seen a group of British, or American tourists entering a watch shop and buying for over 3 million francs in 2 hours. But that's what the chinese do. So, we welcome them ! Now, if only they stopped talking so loud !

@joebloggs5271 you should have watched LCI , a french channel, they managed to stretch the news for over an hour , with " experts " repeating the same thing, the same questions asked over and over. Ffs ! So in this case , consider yourself lucky ! 😆😆😆

@Joe Bloggs I wouldn't put it that way. Actually if you think of it, it's more the way we get information that's more interesting. 1 hour on the same thing ? We all knew that the US would shoot the damn thing , so this was more a political thing on both sides. Besides the NORAD had already detected it over the Aleution Islands, they just waited. Funny, a song sprang to my mind : 99 Luftballoons by Nena. Anyway, we had a good laugh , prepare yourself for more...sorry but I do find it amusing 😄

@j.j7380 Hi, I beg to differ. Americans don't travel the same way as they do. The Americans may visit a country or two (sometimes more) , but they stay longer , usually about 2 weeks. So they may spend a bit more on an individual basis during that length of time. The chinese otoh, travel in groups and visit more than 6 countries in a week or two ( usually 10 days), so a few days here ,a few days there and mostly the capitals . However, they spend approximately usd230 -270 per person per day vs. Americans around usd100 -150. And that amount doesn't take in the individual expenses by the chinese. Aside from the normal tourist souvenirs (curiously often made in China, lol , those Eiffel Tower geegaws, e.g ), therefore, they out spend the Americans, who are more generous than them when it comes to tips. You are right. They visit SE Asia much more. And there's two other countries that spend more than the Americans : the Japanese and South Koreans, and they are the same European tour visitors. Those two are the preferred tourists, btw . Thanks to covid, there has been a downturn with the chinese tourists. You can't compare , really.
