Year Of The Metal Rabbit Stomps Into Downtown Las Vegas
Welcome to the year of the Rabbit, a year that will surely nibble from the carrots of life and freeze in the lights of the oncoming truck of progress. Ah, but if you know your Chinese zodiac, it's also the year of the element 'Metal', hence many are calling this the year of the 'Metal Rabbit'. Now, a Lapine creature with armour plating could take on any oncoming car it gets mesmerised by, and it could quite neatly represent a year in which the world picks itself up and starts anew? Sounds like a great metaphor to me.
Holidays in the year of the rabbit are looking to have the sprightly curiosity of the animal they imitate. In people, the year of the rabbit is supposed to manifest with 'gracious manners and sensitivity'. It's indisputably a sign of the times, but the tourist operators can't help but be sensitive to the needs of their customers. Take a cruise and you can expect more added features and more competitive pricing. Put down money for Florida Villas and you'll get the same high standard of service with (again) more extras and lower sticker prices. Prices in the Caribbean are plummeting as source markets contend with rising VAT and restrictive duty imposed on airline flights. But the forward momentum is definitely with the emerging markets (such as China).
What about Chinese New Year as a tourist attraction in itself? Those in search of the ultimate Chinese New Year experience will probably head to China itself, obviously. But with Chinese communities worldwide, one newly emerging option for New Years Celebration are Holidays to Las Vegas. 2011 will be yet another great year for the Las Vegas economy during the Super Bowl Weekend. But in 2011, Chinese New Year is within the same week as the Super Bowl, a fact that has had Vegas economists laughing all the way to the bank. Celebrations will last for 15 days in total, and some analysts are predicting spending usually associated with the Western New Year.
Where under the American Sky will the Chinese rabbit lead us all in 2011? Can we possibly know?
