'I became immersed in the China tourism market and loved it. I'd listened attentively at the various China ATEC, TEQ & Tourism Australia presentations and had just returned from my first independent visit to the China market, 'How do I create the perfect Fiji day cruise ex Port Denarau, Nadi for the China market?'

Ill-informed authorities (including some Chinese) would state 'Chinese were not water people'. Yet the China market had no hesitation intro-scuba diving in The Whitsundays, despite the fact many couldn't swim. In Fiji the China market was sky diving no less.
