Carcassonne looks to Chinese and Indian Tourists

Filed under : Tags

Tourism officials in the region are looking beyond their traditional northern European and American clientele in light of the growing economic boom in Asia, believing that the region offers just the right combination of cuisine, heritage and sunshine to attract the newly affluent Indian and Chinese market. Representatives from the Aude Departmental Committee for Tourism and from the the Languedoc-Roussillon Regional Committee for Tourism have already welcomed a group of Chinese travel journalists from some of the top ranking travel and lifestyle magazines in China. Their weekend long stay was the perfect opportunity to introduce them to some of the jewels of the Audois tourist sights, such as the medieval city in Carcassonne, roman ruins in Narbonne, the Abbeys of Lagrasse and Frontfroide, and some of the finest restaurants and accommodations in the department. The Tourism committees are also due to meet with an Indian TV production team who are shooting a 30 minute programme about the region’s wine industry and who are due to visit, amongst others, wine makers close to the Canal du Midi and the cellars of the Sieur d’Arques Winery who produce one of the best selling marks of the region’s sparkling wine, Blanquette.
