Chinese flocking into the States

More and more Chinese tourists are flocking into the US. According to a survey done by the department of tourism, the number of Chinese tours will double in 10 years. On average, Chinese tourists spend more than tourists from other countries. In an interview, some Chinese tourists say they will buy designer clothes while there are in the States because the prices of designer clothes are much higher in China than they are in the States. Washington is thrilled as it will boost its tourism industry which has been sluggish in recent years.
Please correct any mistakes.
Thanks
