China clamps down on tours in search of Bigfoot
_________________________________________________________________
BEIJING (AP) - China's government has called on tourist agencies to
refrain from operating safaris in remote areas to search for a
Chinese version of Bigfoot, local media reported today.
The Shennongjia Nature Reserve in the mountains of central Hubei
province planned to lure tourists with a $60,240 reward for the
capture of Bigfoot, the elusive, man-like creature also known as
the yeti, the China Daily reported.
But at a symposium on eco-tourism this week, the State Forestry
Administration announced it does not endorse the safaris because
they mislead people and could harm the environment, the newspaper
said.
Chinese scientists have looked for Bigfoot in the wilds of
Shennongjia in the past. Last month, the scientific community
declared there was no evidence the creature exists.
