ATI Boosts China Tourism and USA Economy
ATI is the only in-bound and out-bound tour operator arranging travel between both the USA and China
PALM BEACH, Fla. USA -- (BUSINESS WIRE) Saturday May 07, 2011 43 Chinese tourists aboard AmericanTours International’s (ATI) inaugural 16-day “Great American Southern Crossing” arrived in Florida today (Thurs), the last stop and 10th state visited after traveling across America spending more than $5ooo per person shopping. Welcoming the China travelers were co-hosts ATI CEO Noel Irwin Hentschel and AAA Auto Club South CEO John Tomlin. Also waving the American flag were Tim Hentschel and John Prince of Florida’s www.hotelplanner.com, an ATI-AAA affiliate and 16 AAA members. ATI is the only in-bound and out-bound tour operator arranging travel between both the USA and China. “The relationship of our countries is vital to our economy and security. Travel to China with ATI through AAA offers unique ‘people to people’ experiences and helps accomplish this important global objective,” stated Noel Hentschel. “As AAA’s top tour partner, ATI is leading the industry in developing memorable tours like this one for the Chinese that meet the needs and desires of our visitors from overseas,” said AAA CEO John Tomlin. Many passengers traveled previously with ATI by coach across the northern route of America and anxiously returned to experience the southern route totaling 23 states visited and just signed up for ATI’s “North to Alaska & Canada” 2012 tour. Alumni passenger Mr. Zhou remarked, “I have visited places in America with ATI that no other tour company can offer and that we could never experience on our own.” One of their favorite experiences was Stonepine in Carmel Valley, California, an elegant historic ranch estate where they were real cowboys for a day. Another was an official police escort to experience a southern gospel service on Easter Sunday in Baton Rouge, arranged by Mayor-President Melvin Holden, who worked with Noel Hentschel on Hurricane Katrina recovery. A Travel Service Provider licensed by the US government ATI recently announced legal travel services to Cuba through the company’s www.CubaATI.com website offering air, car, coach, hotel and guides across the entire island. Founded in 1977, ATI is the largest privately held American-owned inbound/outbound and domestic travel organization and partner of AAA/CAA clubs, annually serving one million visitors from 70 countries and generating $3 billion into the U.S. economy. ATI is headquartered in Los Angeles and Orlando with offices in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Honolulu and Beijing. © Copyright: National Radio.
