But my customers from the Chinese mainland Wholesale Arsenal Jersey , especially the elderly, often corrected me,"" said Hou, whose father comes from Fujian Province and mother comes from Guangdong Province.
It was the first time Brunei-based Borneo Trekker Travel, Hou's employer, has attended the China-ASEAN Expo, where Brunei is this year's Country of Honor. One theme of the event is tourism Wholesale AC Milan Jersey , as this year marks the China-ASEAN Year of Tourism.
Hou led a growing number of Chinese tour groups in Brunei in the past year or two, thanks to more direct flights between the two countries and easier access to Brunei.
Since May 2016, Chinese tourists can apply for a visa on arrival with a 14-day stay. Direct flights have been launched between Brunei and the Chinese cities of Zhengzhou, Kunming and Nanning.
""My Chinese customers love islands, but think Thailand and Malaysia are overcrowded. Brunei is a good choice,"" Hou said. ""It is tranquil. There are no bars or KTVs in this Muslim country.""
Like Hou, many of those involved in the tourism industry in Southeast Asian countries have benefited from the China-ASEAN tourism boom.
Nearly 8 Wholesale Manchester United Jersey ,800 travel agencies in nine ASEAN countries are approved to receive Chinese tourists, according to a report published at the expo.
In 2016, more than 30 million trips were made between China and ASEAN countries, compared with 10 million in 2011. The two are each other's largest overseas tourist destinations and largest sources of tourists, said the report on bilateral cooperation in tourism.

About 830,000 Chinese tourists visited Cambodia last year Cheap Real Madrid Jersey , up over 20 percent year-on-year, becoming the second largest group of foreign tourists for the country.
Hun Sen said tourism remains a pillar industry for Cambodia, and it has created jobs and helped its people cast off poverty.
Favorable visa polices and improved traffic are behind the prosperity of China-ASEAN tourism, said Dai Bin, head of China Tourism Academy.
In Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a Chinese tourist can enjoy a one-day tour of Dongxing and neighboring Mong Cai in Vietnam by showing only his or her ID card. Self-driving trips between the two cities were allowed in 2016.
From January to June, nearly 368 Cheap Sevilla Jersey ,000 cross-border trips were made via Dongxing, up 17.8 percent year-on-year.
Since 2000, nearly 20 documents have been signed to encourage bilateral tourism.

Large railway projects are being constructed to better connect China and the bloc, including the Trans-Asian Railway.

In addition, the government offers local tourist guides Chinese language courses to better serve Chinese tourists.
China is an increasingly attractive destination for ASEAN tourists. More than 3 million Vietnamese tourists visited China last year, up 46.6 percent year-on-year.
Despite the success, some obstacles remain in the tourism cooperation.

In addition, concerns have mounted over safety. From January 2000 to April 2014, 65 safety incidents involving tourists were recorded in the islands of ASEAN countries, such as traffic accidents and hijackings, according to the report on bilateral cooperation in tourism.
Among the worst was a bombing that killed more than 20 tourists, including seven Chinese nationals, in Bangkok in August 2015.
The increase of cybercrime Cheap Manchester City Jersey , such as telecom fraud that often involves criminals based in some Southeast Asian countries, could result in tighter controls over cross-border trips, the report said.
