Visit California China Ready Seminar – On June 19, 2018, the Great Mall, together with Visit California, held a seminar at Dave & Buster’s to discuss Chinese tourism and marketing to Chinese visitors. Chinses tourism to the United States will continue to grow as only a very small percentage of Chinese have travelled abroad. Technology is incredibly important to the Chinese shopping experience including WeChat and Union Pay.

Milpitas is in a unique position to capture this market because of the Great Mall and residents who have relatives visiting from China. Other Facts about Chinese tourists in the United States:

$3.1 billion spent in 2017, projected $4.74 billion by 2021 1.4 million visits to California in 2017, projected 2.1 Million visits by 2021
