It seems China is big on many people mind. I say Let's go after those long dollars! YIPPEE our BI thread was read!

..."There is enormous potential for The Bahamas to tap into the tourism possibilities of China," Minister of State for Finance Zhivargo Laing said. "So for us, that requires our being able to facilitate visas that the Chinese need to travel to The Bahamas, and have that done in a more efficient and effective manner.

"It also requires some transportation logistics being worked out so that there are more direct and less expensive flights between China and The Bahamas."

... and for those who keep saying the Chinese are not allowed to leave their country

While the Communist country places some restrictions on that movement, The Bahamas has, in fact, been recognized as an "Approved Travel Destination" by the Chinese government.

Chinese love Gambling too so I am sure they would come here, I hope they really work on that market.

i don't think they need to come all the way to the Bahamas to gamble...Macau is fast becoming the gambling hotspot...and if gambling outside the country is the kind of experience they seek, Cambodia is not too far away.

Bahamas v Macau.

CHINA
Hitherto, dog production for eating has in China been a cottage industry. Peasants would raise a few dogs and take them to the market when they were grown. But now entrepreneurs are applying factory farming principles to the process. Faster growing and more docile breeds are being introduced (eg St Bernards) and the whole business is being scaled up with modern distribution and marketing techniques.
In Yibin, Sichuan Province in November 2001 we visited a dog meat restaurant which had 2 dogs in a cage waiting to be killed and eaten. In another cage were three puppies. The restaurant owner informed us that there are 5 dog meat restaurants in Yibin supplied by two farms about 20Km outside Yibin. We asked to visit these but were repeatedly told that the roads were too dangerous. He said they used about 20 - 30 dogs each month. Dog meat is very expensive compared with pork which is as cheap as ordinary vegetables. Dog eating is not popular in this area amongst the older generation - dogs were traditionally kept as guards and pets but not food. However the younger generation is coming under the influence of other provinces - Guangdong, Hubei, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Jilin) - and dog eating is now considered to be fashionable as a special occasion feast. It seems that dog eating gets less popular as you move North in this region. Xichang to the South of Yibin has a much more flourishing dog meat industry. Further North in Zigong we visited one of only two restaurants in the city that sell dog meat. They buy a dog from the market about once a week, kill it themselves and put it in their freezer. About 10 dogs a week are eaten in Zigong. The meat of watch dogs is not considered good. Meat dogs sell for Y100 to 250. (US$1 is approximately Y8).
