Spanish tourism administration is designing special cultural sightseeing products and training more Chinese-speaking tour guides to woo more tourists from China, an official with the Spanish Embassy in Beijing said in Beijing on Wednesday.

"We are preparing special sightseeing routes for the Chinese tourists, who often take great interest in historical and cultural sites," said Arturo Claver, tourism official with the Spanish Embassy in Beijing.

Tourism administration in Spain is also taking steps to ease the current shortage of tour guides who can speak Chinese. Some hotels in Spain are also planning to offer unique services to Chinese visitors, said the official.
