ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — An Aspen hotel is counting on Chinese tourists to fill rooms.

The Little Nell hotel recently sent representatives to China, hoping to lure wealthy Chinese tourists looking for a Western mountain town experience.

According to the Aspen Daily News (http://bit.ly/R8aaf7 ), hotel officials believe many wealthy Chinese who send their children to U.S. schools could be sold on a North American ski vacation while visiting their child's school.
