Today, Governor Lingle will attend the opening ceremony of the China International Travel Mart, hosted by Mr. Shao Qiwei, chairman of the China National Tourism Administration.

The Governor's visit to Shanghai builds on the progress made since her 2005 business mission to China, which set the groundwork for a cooperative agreement between the State of Hawai`i and the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) to increase two-way travel between Hawai`i and China.
