JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Merchants in downtown Jackson say they have noticed an increase in the number of Chinese tourists who are making the Yellowstone National Park region a destination.
Andy Nicholas of Alaska Fur Galley tells the Jackson Hole News & Guide (http://bit.ly/1WFPs3x) that he estimates that Chinese tourists accounted for up to a quarter of his summer sales this year.
Brian Riley runs a business that markets the Yellowstone National Park region in China.
