NEWPORT and SMITHFIELD – Chinese-speaking tourists visiting the Newport Mansions are among those who will benefit from a new collaboration between The Preservation Society of Newport County and the U.S.-China Institute at Bryant University.
“Travel and tourism in Rhode Island is a $4.7-billion industry,” Denise Schwerin, assistant director for business services at the U.S.-China Institute, said in a statement today. “Creative partnerships like the one with The Preservation Society of Newport County will help ensure that Rhode Island is a welcoming destination for the increasingly mobile Chinese tourist.”
