为因应中美航线加速恢复的市场趋势，更好地满足旅客前往美国加州的需求，美国联合航空（United Airlines）与加利福尼亚州旅游会展局（Visit California）在日前联合举办了“华北区代理人研讨会”。此次研讨会的目的是详细介绍美国联合航空中美直飞航班最近动态，以及加州为迎接中国游客所做的各项准备工作。
In response to the accelerating market trends in US-China air travel routes and to better meet the demand of travelers heading to California, United Airlines and Visit California jointly hosted a "North China Agent Seminar."

加州旅游会展局自近15年来一直深耕中国市场。在全球市场中，中国游客在抵达美国时选择加州作为首选目的地的比例最高，占赴美游客总数的32% — 这一优势预计将随着中国出境游的增加而增长。
Visit California has invested in China for nearly 15 years. Among all global markets, China has the highest share of arrivals where California is the first intended address at 32% of U.S. visitation – an advantage that is expected to grow as travel out of China increases.
在疫情前，中国是加州最大的海外旅游市场，共计150万中国游客在加州的消费总支出超过40亿美元。随着市场重新开放，预测显示，即使仅恢复到疫情前水平的45%，中国在2023年也将重新成为加州最大的海外游客市场。
Pre-pandemic, China was California’s top overseas market with 1.5 million travelers spending over $4 billion across the state. As the country reopens, it is forecasted to quickly regain its position as the state’s top overseas market in 2023 even at only 45% of pre-pandemic levels.
