"We have so many overseas Chinese, Mandarin-speaking Chinese here in Canada. We have the kinds of food that they (Chinese travelers) are looking for, and we have the kinds of support at both the hotel levels, the restaurant levels and the shopping levels where we can accommodate the Mandarin language," Klassen said.

"But again, more and more needs to be done. I understand that the Chinese (travelers) are looking for home-based television programs that they can watch, and I think as our industry learns more about how to accommodate the Chinese it just simply makes sense for us to do that."
