VANCOUVER - Travel agents in British Columbia are celebrating Beijing's decision to resume group tourism to Canada, hoping for the return of big-spending Chinese visitors who were a dominant presence for the local travel industry before the pandemic.

Travel agent Glynnis Chan, president at Vancouver-based Happy Times Travel and Tour Ltd., has been leading group tours for Chinese tourists in the city for more than forty years.
