This article in BusinessWeekwas a great read about the slowing of China’s economy.  It also shows the huge potential to capture tourism market-share from China, and highlight the still rosy outlook for a surge in tourism from China in the years to come, esp. for Hawaii. 

Recent news from China might be causing jitters among tourism industry executives counting on a surge in business from China’s newly wealthy travelers. With gross domestic product growth slowing to 9% for the third quarter, the slowest rate in five years.

9% Growth? Are you kidding me.  That’s still incredible.
