BEIJING, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th May, 2018 ) :Chile welcomes Chinese tourists to visit Antarctica via the South American country, considered the best gateway to Antarctica, the ambassador of Chile to China has said.
Jaime Chomali made the remarks at a tourism promotion event on Antarctica held in Beijing to boost cooperation in tourism between the two countries, Xinhua news agency reported. "Chile is committed to environmentally sustainable tourism to the white continent.
We need to help preserve this great and marvelous piece of the world for future generations," said Chomali.
Chomali said he hoped the event would familiarize Chinese companies with Chile and Antarctica.
Chile implemented a visa-free policy in 2015 for Chinese citizens who have previously been issued a U.S. or Canadian visa. The policy has boosted Chinese tourism to the South American country. China is the second-largest source of tourists to Antarctica, following only the United States. However, growth in tourism in recent years has brought pressure to the continent's environment.
