[quote=MARRIE,297240]At a reception on the Odyssey Cruise Thursday night, Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez wished them "good cultural experience, happy memories, great photographs and new friends" in the United States.

He also praised China's good handling of the earthquake and its victims and congratulated China on its successful preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

"I feel warmly welcomed here," said a visitor, Ms. Peng. "I would bring back these good memories and advise my friends to visit America."

Peng said the hotel she stayed in added Chinese food to its breakfast buffet, which made her really feel at home.

It took years of negotiations for the U.S. and Chinese governments to strike the memorandum of understanding to facilitate outbound tourist group travel from China to the United States on Dec. 11, 2007 in Beijing, which signified that China further opened its market to the U.S. tourism industry.

"We hope the first groups of Chinese tourists can take back their experience here to China, so we can have more tourists coming from China," Gutierrez told Xinhua Thursday.
