| Tourists from China pose for a picture with Disney characters Mickey (R) and Minnie Mouse during a cruise for the first official Chinese tour group to the United States under a new bilateral travel agreement with the United States government, in Washington June 19, 2008. A negotiated deal under which Beijing agreed to permit group tourism to the United States and allow US tourist destinations to market themselves in China is expected by 2011 to double to 600,000 the number of annual visitors from China to the United States, according to industry and government forecasts.
