The alliance is confident about the effect of the direct flights and expects the number of Chinese tourists to touch 250,000 by 2020.
In September 2015, the first direct air link between Beijing and Montreal was launched, and that year the number of Chinese tourists who traveled to Quebec was around 30,000. The number was 85,000 last year.
"Our government has established good relations with 皇冠体育app in trade, education, culture and science. And we are confident that the direct flights will carry more Chinese travelers (to Quebec). We are prepared for it," Boulet says.
"We are also doing research about what Chinese tourists want－language assistance, food and accommodation－to further develop our tourism products, including those covering nature and the outdoors."
According to her, the government also gives Quebec's tourism operators help to encourage them to design products for Chinese travelers.
As for her suggestions for Chinese visitors intending to visit Quebec, she says that they should take a boat ride to enjoy a view of the whales that surface from May to October.
She also says that they should wear clothes that are warm and windproof. She adds that from late September to October, the colorful maple leaves provide beautiful scenery.
