prk888 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 From the BBC World Service today. One Chinese Company sends 6,400 employees to visit Nice in southern France for 4 days. Hires 140 coaches, spending a fortune etc. Next year maybe they could visit Thailand and Pattaya would be an option. All those hotel rooms! All that lovely revenue! How would Pattaya cope?

Crossy Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The city of Nice must be wondering what France has done to upset China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeijoshinCool Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 They're everywhere. I'm back in the States staying in a hotel for a few months, and the place is chock full of Chinese. They check in, make a racket for three days, then are replaced by more. Like some science fiction/horror movie; cut off the head, and two more grow. The lobby sounds like a cross between a cat playing a three-string banjo, and someone throwing silverware into a stainless steel sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Err Pattaya couldn't cope. Gridlock for four days. Lovely! ! But as long as someone has made money then that's okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCruncher Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Here they are in Nice, imagine them in Pattaya ! Taken into account that the company hired 140 coaches, I assume that there are 138 other colors of those hats somewhere around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforek Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) The boss spent about 13 millions euros for his best employees Sorry, I don't know how much the boss spent, I meant above : expected profits for France : 13 millions euros because there is a transport from Nice to Paris by trains, hotels ...

impulse Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The lobby sounds like a cross between a cat playing a three-string banjo, and someone throwing silverware into a stainless steel sink. That's the new sound of tourist money being made.... Better get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toenail Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Good for the Chinese to see "the world" and understand how cultures are different (and more refined). Unfortunately if all the Chinese do is cluster together within their bus groups, they're not going to see much. But....I remember back when I was in my 20'sm my first visit to Europe was by a bus tour-cheap and easy. Zoomed around 6-7 countries in two weeks. Hardly had time to venture out by oneself. However, once I saw Europe, it wet my appetite to go back and do it solo. Let's hope in 10 years or more the Chinese can travel by themselves and learn a lot more about and country and its culture. (Maybe not, Westerners like their space and independence while many Asians are more comfortable to be clustered together.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Topic really has nothing to do with Pattaya and is getting even further even further from any tenuous link it may have had, we already have running topics about Chinese tour bus problems so we can continue there. //CLOSED// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
