Chinese tourists hear the call of London 2012

Taiyuan (CNS) -- "We have designed multiple tour packages for London 2012 and the registration lines are burning up despite all options being quite expensive," said Zhang Xiaoyong, vice general manager of a tourism agency in Shanxi Province on May 17.

Many local sports fans intend to go to London and watch the games on site, a CNS reporter has learned from polling many local outbound travel agencies.

Diving and swimming are the two star programs for Chinese players, so we added a session of watching both competitions at the stadiums during the ten-day UK tour, said Zhang.

In addition to watching games the Chinese play well, Chinese tourists also have options to tour the city of London, Windsor Castle, Scotland, the British Museum and a variety of scenic spots.
