;;Warming-up;Warming-up;Task 2;Reading A;Chinese Travelers Changing the Landscape of World Tourism; Huang’s experience is not unique among the fast growing numbers of Chinese travelers. As their numbers grow they are influencing tourism as the destination countries adapt their facilities to the booming influx of Chinese tourists.
