management systems.’’

attends, and we were very pleased to be asked to address the conference.’’

Mr. Gao stated, ‘‘The travel industry in China is a $70 billion dollar per
year industry, and it’s expanding at a rate of about 15% per year. Spurred
by the booming Chinese economy, the Chinese leisure and business travel
sector will continue to grow not only from domestic tourism but also from
international travelers. It is a critical time for this industry in China.
Taking these early steps in getting proper information management systems
in place will result in an industry that is prepared to receive world
