On November 17,1997,He Guangwei, director e of the National Tourism Administration(NTA), signed an agreement in Washington with Jonathan Linen, vice-chairman of the American Express, designating the American Express Card as China''s tourist credit card for 1998 to 2000. This is the second time the card has won this honor.

"Since the American Express Card was designated for the first time in 1994, it has played an important role in China''s tourism," said Director He at the signing ceremony.

Over recent years, the number of tourists using the American Express Card to handle business, tourism and activities related to work in China has increased. According to Bank of China statistics, the amount of business using American Express Cards occupies 45 percent of the accounts signed with foreign credit cards. In addition,the number of accounts signed with the card by overseas tourists stands at 15 percent of China''s tourist income in foreign exchange.

In order to develop China''s tourism, the American Express and the NTA carried out a series of market promotion activities in North America, including distributing a million copies of the 24-page World of Wonders -- Hong Kong and China in North America. The American Express has enthusiastically supported China''s tourism education and training. In 1992, in cooperation with the Beijing Tourism College, it established the tourism training center which has successfully trained more than 600 tourism administrative personnel.

The new agreement marked the further strengthening of cooperation between the American Express and the NTA. It is also one of the important plans by both parties to boost the long-term development of China''s tourism. "The American company has a wide tourism network in China and we are very honored to be able to make contributions to China''s tourism," said Linen.

At present, the company has four offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen and 30 tourist service centers in 22 cities offering tour and credit card services, including reissuing lost cards, reporting missing travel checks, consultation, settling of card accounts, handling

customers'' post and other services.

In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are often box-shaped. They have thick stone walls which are painted white. White surfaces radiate heat while dark surfaces absorb it. The houses have no windows, only gaps with shutters over them. Even the door openings are very small and narrow. It is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so that when the sun goes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool breeze that is blowing. Sometimes,a water tank may be placed on the roof to catch the little rain that falls.

In cold regions, where there is heavy snow, the roofs,of the houses slope steeply so that the snow can slide off easily. If the roofs were flat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cave in under the weight. The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.

Some countries are more likely to be affected by earthquakes. In such places, the houses are made of light building …… 此处隐藏：6026字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
