Burress commented that the Perfect (China) program, which is being coordinated by the CITS International M.I.C.E. company of China, is the “largest single movement from China to the United States” and will join a tourism product in Orange County in which visitors spend $1 million per hour every day of the year. CITS, which was involved in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, estimates that the Perfect (China) group alone will generate $85 million dollars in economic impact on Orange County.
