Beijing signs tourism deals with Zhejiang province

Beijing and eastern Zhejiang province signed tourism deals worth more than 200 million yuan ($28.89 million) on June 13.

The deals cover major tourism destinations across Zhejiang, such as Wuzhen, Huzhou and Wenzhou. Travel agencies on both sides would work together to boost tourism in those places.

The cooperation is part of Zhejiang's efforts to reach travelers from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic zone and build itself into China's best travel destination, the Zhejiang provincial culture and tourism authority says.
