Mr. Wung told the Wall Street Journal that China's tourism market is growing at a fast pace driven by the increase in disposable income as well as by strong government support. The Chinese National Tourism Department forecast that China's tourism industry will grow at a 14% annual rate for the next five years.

In addition, the transportation infrastructure has been greatly improved in China, reducing travel time and making it easier for people to travel. Recently, travel time between Fuzhou and Great Golden Lake has been shortened to less than 3 hours following completion of the highway.

Mr. Wung also discussed the Company's tourism and media business units and highlighted the powerful synergies between the two businesses. As an example, China Yida's train media program, which is part of the Media group, is currently broadcast in 440 high-speed trains in China, which not only generates advertising revenue for the Company, but also raises the profile of its tourism destinations across the whole country.
