After that much better than expected jobs report in the us last week. The chinese economy may be slowing, but tourism is booming well get the inside track on chinas rise as a holiday hotspot. Another form of tourism doing well is adventure tourism, up 65 a year. With retirees fuelling the growth, swapping the cruise ship for the canoe. Is it your idea of holiday hell. We want to hear from you. Just use the hashtag bbcbizlive. Decision day is getting ever closer for the dutch and tonight they get what for many could be a decisive last and tonight they get what, for many, could be a decisive last look at the candidates before wednesday elections. The leading candidates will hold their final tv debate later. The dutch vote is the first of three big elections across europe this year Casting Uncertainty over the continent. Soon after come the votes in france and germany. Financial markets are watching them all closely. Not least for what their results might mean for the future of the euro. The current dutch Prime Minister mark rutte faces a tough challenge from the far right populist candidate Geert Wilders who has been riding high in the polls. But there is no Standout Leader in the polls giving greater uncertainty than ever before. Whilst the rise of populism is often linked with falling living standards, the dutch remain one of the wealthiest nations in the world. Average income is nearly 53,000 per person. And Economic Growth is forecast at a steady 2 for this year with wages growing and unemployment falling. So one key Election Issue has been the Foreign Ownership of Dutch Companies with the labour party, part of the current coalition, proposing the government should be able to block takeovers they deem not to be in the national interest. 0ur our next guest is from the netherlands but working in the uk. Dr Stijn Van Kessel is lecturer in politics at loughborough university. Talk us through, from your perspective, what is on the minds of those going to the polls . There is an open race at the moment, no clear party is standing out. So voters have a tough choice if they want to determine who will eventually govern the country. It is an open race between six or seven parties which are all predicted to win around ten and 15 of the vote. Are all predicted to win around ten and 1596 of the vote. From the International Point of view, the focus as being on Geert Wilders, immigration and the far right, as it were. In the netherlands, what have been the issues when it comes to what they have been debating and discussing and how will be enticed people to vote for them . They are important issues and they may become more important because of the diplomatic row between turkey and the netherlands. But there is a wide range of issues such as euthanasia, the ability to end your life for the terminally ill. Pension age is an issue, which came up a lot. But culture and immigration is the biggest issue. What do you think the outcome will be on wednesday, it is difficult to predict . Yes, i dont wa nt to difficult to predict . Yes, i dont want to make any predictions. It is difficult to predict their memory. In most elections, there is normally two parties clear. But the previously smaller liberals and the greens are doing well. There is no clear horse race affect. We put it in the context of europe, many have said brexit equals donald trump, equals nexit. Internationally speaking, there is these events, so there is brexit, donald trump and there is brexit, donald trump and the french and german elections coming. So this vote is about Geert Wilders and whether people see this populist right wing splurge. The difference between brexit, trump and the french elections, the outcome of this election doesnt signify a winner takes all principle. Geert wilders, will perhaps win between around 15 and 20 of the vote but it doesnt get him very far because all of the other parties who are most important have ruled out of governing with him. Thank you for your time. Fascinating and it is something we will keep a close eye on here at the bbc. Just want to take you to the bbc website. It is important day here as well as far as brexit is concerned. Ministers are expected to reject the changes by the house of lords. They sent it back to the commons and wa nted sent it back to the commons and wanted two significant changes to the proposed bill before it would allow the Prime Minister to trigger article 50. If they do agree on it, it formally starts the Brexit Process and that could happen as early as tomorrow. So all eyes will be on the commons as far as that vote is concerned. Change at the top of hsbc. Lets speak to the macdonald in singapore. Talk us through the significance of this, it isa through the significance of this, it is a big change . Yes, mark tucker is due to take over in october. He will succeed douglas flynn. And he is a one time professional footballer but has had plenty of experience as an executive. He was the head of aia and prior to that he held a Leadership Position with prudential. Hsbc is in the middle of the board and executive reshuffle, which showed poor profits last year which blamed donald trump and uncertainties caused by brexit. The markets seem to like what they see, shares rose more than 2 on the Hong Kong Exchange after the announcement. We will get the reaction from london in a little while. First order of business will be to find News Chief Executive to succeed stuart gulliver, who is planning to next year. Good to talk to you. We saw the figures from the markets on the screen. All of that coming of the better than expected jobs figures in the us last week. This is how asia is looking at close on the dow on friday. Lets talk about what europe is doing, the stronger growth is helping prop up the wider market. This is what europe is doing. As well as the fed meeting, Central Banks in four other rich economies, they are due to deliver their decisions on thursday. We should saint none of them expect to follow what the fed is doing and tighten monetary policy, but they have the job of trying to get their economies back on track. For the Bank Of England, it is trying to prepare the uk for brexit. We will talk about that in a moment. Michelle has the details from new york. Itll be a busy week. On tuesday, the Us Federal Reserve will begin its two day meeting. After the stellar job report and begin its two day meeting.

Michelle in new york. A busy week ahead in the united states. Always lovely to see you justin. Brand new trading week. The fed is very much in focus. We have seen confirmation that the American Economy is in very good shape. Contrary to what President Trump has been saying. Unemployment figures are good and growth is fine so rates will be going up. Janet yellen, has told us last week that rates were going up and so she will stand up and confirm it. What we want to know is are they going to go up any more after this . It is pencilled in for two more rate rises this year. Not so worried about growth this year, it is going to 18 and i9 about growth this year, it is going to 18 and 19 when you slow down and thatis to 18 and 19 when you slow down and that is when you start putting rates down. You cannot cut rates until you raise them. So this is good news, even though some people might be worried. Compare what other Central Banks are doing, they are trying to get back to normality . Central banks in the uk wont be raising rates. The head of Bank Of England has said they will focus on growth. That is right, because of the concerns over brexit and economy could be slowing. In europe, the eurozone, there is more talk about rates going up because the economies are doing well. It is interesting, the whispering in the markets that perhaps rates could go up in the eurozone has caused the euro to go up. If that were to happen, it would bea up. If that were to happen, it would be a way of . It doesnt have to happen yet. We were talking about september. We were listening to the head of the ecb and he said not yet.

Youre with Business Live from bbc news. If youre in the uk and you plan to travel by rail, you will have noticed disruption. Guards and drivers working for Northern Rail and merseyrail are striking over the introduction of driver 0nly 0perated trains and similar action is continuing on southern rail. Steph mcgovern is at Leeds Railway station. Getting busy, the rush hour underway, but some people could struggle to get to where they want to go . They certainly could. If you look at the board is it doesnt look too bad because actually the majority of the services, the Northern Rail operators are on time, but this is the revised timetable. When you talk to commuters, a lot of them have been waiting for trains. Northern rail say they are only operating 40 of their services today. Also they have had to put Rail Replacement buses. We were chatting to people earlier who said they had to get the bus. It all adds to the roads and we know what they like during rush hour. Lots of commuters are facing this headline when they are handed this paper this morning. March madness as a million hit by train chaos. This is a main station for Northern Rail services. In the north west you have merseyrail. They are also facing disruption. They were hoping to put trains on every half an hour. They are normally on every 15 minutes, but there are quite a few drivers who havent crossed the picket line so who havent crossed the picket line so therefore they havent got the drivers in order to be able to operate as many trains as they had hoped today. If you couple that with what is going on on southern rail, they have faced so much disruption. They are also saying there will be disruption today but they are running 90 of their services. If you are going on those lines, look before you travel. But is it from me. I know how cold reads Train Station is, i am loving that fur collar.

China, once a net exporter of tourists around the world, is now opening its borders and welcoming visitors in greater numbers than ever before. China is now the worlds fourth most popular tourist destination, behind france, america and spain. Nearly 57 Million People travelled to china in 2015 for holidays according to the world tourism 0rganisation. Most foreign visitors come from elsewhere in asia like south korea, japan and taiwan. But there are huge numbers of western tourists visiting china every year especially from the us. Wendy wu tours is cashing in on this trend specialising in off the beaten track tours to china, and has seen a big jump in bookings. Joining us now is wendy wu, founder of wendy wu tours. Welcome. Good morning. Just tell us wendy about how it started for you. You established your company quite a long time ago, but what caused you to go down this road in the first place . When i was 20 i went to australia. I decided to go on a big holiday to china. Im chinese so i did all the research myself, but i didnt want to go by myself. So two weeks before the holiday i put a little ad in the paper to say, this is how much it will cost. This is the place im going to go to. Whoever wants to come along, i will be your free whoever wants to come along, i will be yourfree guide. Whoever wants to come along, i will be your free guide. That was the ad and thats how we started and we took off from there. And from that point, of course, youve grown into a huge business. It is notjust about booking a holiday, its about everything that you get with it, its the package, it is notjust about a flight or hotel or a commute. Yes. And thats the most important thing because for many people going to china, it is the unknown. They dont know where to go and what to see and you put all that together and thats your unique selling point, is it . Ben, youve got it. What we do all the special experiences. Im chinese and i know tibet inside out. So therefore, for example we take you to to see the great wall and we have the best guides in china and we also, because we know where we go, so therefore, for example, our customers will come back again and again with us. That helps us to grow. So we say ok, i have been to china so many times with you and where else do you want to go . Then we take them to japan. China isjust to go . Then we take them to japan. China is just growing and growing because of that. It is growing and western interest in holidays in china has exploded. And you have made the most of that and this year in terms of your turn over youve smashed last years increasing turn over, havent you and were only in march. What i found interesting, i looked at your website and it was great and interesting, but i understand from last week you could book online. Is that not a little bit backwards . I would have thought you should have had us booking online many years ago . Yes. We grew very fast and because the destinations that we do such as china andjapan, destinations that we do such as china and japan, people like to talk with us and they need our expertise and knowledge. We do Audio Experiences for example, over our holiday. 0urjob is to make it easy for you to go to china and experience the hole thing. So its a three meal stay and all the entertainment and everywhere in china. So thats the reason we grow so china. So thats the reason we grow so fast. In the past, even working with our Travel Agents they are very strong for us so we grow on the back of that, but technology is very, very important especially for the future. So we decided we want to do it right. So we bought the technology in house. So we have the technology in house. So we have the technology in house. So we have the technology inhouse. Where will the growth come from . Will it be from the website or Travel Agents that you have relied on for so long . Ok. Youre right, were doing both because for us in the past we actually, the customer asked for brochures so we have beautiful brochures so we have beautiful brochures and we have Travel Agents. They know us inside out and they have customers every day, so they have customers every day, so they have expertise in their area so they know how good we are and the growth comes from yeah, that experience, it is our Inside Knowledge that makes us is our Inside Knowledge that makes us grow and in future, for example we are building a special platform with the Travel Agents so we can grow with the customers.

Ritchie says, anywhere thats cold is his nightmare holiday. I would rather do beach, sun and sand. Marie says, i hate beach and drinking holidays. Benidorm is my nightmare. Chris favourite holiday is a Beach Holiday with no luxuries. Dominic, whats your holiday from hell . Being originally from new zealand the idea ofa originally from new zealand the idea of a Seaside Holiday where there is rain and cloud is kind of strange. Why would you go to the sea. So you havent hold dayed in wales . There is a perverse enjoyment to be had from with standing the elements. The wind break, what is that . Thats the must have when on the beach in the must have when on the beach in the uk if it is that windy, dont go lets look at some other stories out there. This one grabbed my attention, iceland to end Capital Controls in place since 2008. Iceland is back. Yeah, well, it is the end of a saga, if you excuse the pun. In 2008 iceland built up a Banking Sector which was 1a times the size of its economy. Completely crashed the economy. The controls we re crashed the economy. The controls were put in place to protect the economy from more damage because a lot of icelandic people had borrowings in foreign currency and it was to stop all that money rushing out of the icelandic economy and slowly, over the years, those controls have been released. Even up until recently, if you are an icelandic person and wanting to go on holiday and buy currency, you had to go to the bank with Airline Tickets to prove you were going. Thats nine years after the crisis they are finally back in the wider international community. Yes, it is fascinating and you see the repercussions on a big Clamp Down On where money goes . It was three banks. It was a big deal for many uk bankers as well . Yes, lots of retail banks and British Councils had borrowed and the original entrepreneurs bought up a huge chunk of the high street. Whats interesting is the turn around story of iceland given the crisis it was in and you look at other countries ina in and you look at other countries in a financial crisis and they are in the thick of their crisis. Iceland is not . Iceland has been a rich economy based on primary industries, fishing, tourism and agriculture. It has gone become to those traditional strengths and its doing well. Can we talk about ikea . Are you any good at putting ikea furniture together . are you any good at putting ikea furniture together . I dont mind. It is screws and alan keys. It is fine if you havent got kids running off with the bits no screws and no alan keys, it clicks together, it is like giant lego. It takes the fun out of it. When you can put together a really complicated ikea kit youve made it. It probably saves them cost because theyre not having to put components in, but it comes down design in Every Day Life and its stuff like this that really shows the power of design. It is all made to an amazing standard. Not many ikea kits go wrong. When was the last time that you had an ikea kit when the parts werent there. It is an incredible company. It is a perfect example. Sell a lot of them and sell them cheap. Dominic, thank you. So whats your holiday hell then . Oh, always having to work on holiday, and e mails on holiday, but Beach Holiday all the way for me. Holiday without the kids no, not necessarily. Family holidays are great too see you soon. Bye bye. Bottom good morning. If you like dry weather youll probably like the next few days. Not a lot of rain in the forecast and with the dry conditions will come mild conditions as well. It is because of High Pressure building its way in from the south west. Really settling things down and forcing the atlantic Weather Systems up to the north west. However, weatherfronts will get close enough to Northern Ireland and scotland to bring rain at times. For most of the day though it will be dry. The best of the brightness towards the south east as this area of cloud sinks its way across england and wales. For Northern Ireland and scotland, here plenty of brightness to come this afternoon. 13 celsius in belfast. Ten celsius in glasgow, but rain into the far north West Of Scotland and it will turn windy here as well later on. Quite a lot of cloud through Northern England and into the midlands and wales. Temperatures up the midlands and wales. Temperatures up to 12 or13 the midlands and wales. Temperatures up to 12 or 13 celsius and in the sunshine towards east anglia and the south east, could get to 16 celsius. Murky conditions, i think, for Coastal Parts of south west england. But again, here, it will be pretty mild. This evening and tonight this area of cloud and misty, murky weather, maybe the odd spot of drizzle will continue to sink southwards and eastwards. A band of rain moves into Northern Ireland and Scotla Nd Rain Moves into Northern Ireland and scotland and across the far north of scotland, we will see hefty showers as the winds begin to pick up and tomorrow will be a windy day across northern scotland. We could see wind gusts of 60mph to 70mph. Big waves crashing on to the shoreline as well and a lot of showers which will be wint ary particularly over high ground. Elsewhere, largely dry. Very cloudy out west. Some murky weather over coasts and hills. The best of the brightness further east where temperatures could get up to 16, 17 celsius, maybe 18 celsius. Into wednesday, a lot of cloud around for the most part, but some brightness here and there. Generally, it will be dry apart from the far north West Of Scotland. As we move further ahead, wednesday night and into thursday, High Pressure holds firm towards the south. Weather fronts do start to move into the north west though and you can see the isobars blustery weather here as well. Towards the north west of the country, yes, we will see rain at times to end the week, but the further south and east you are, we will hold on to the largely dry weather. Hello its monday, its 9. 00am, im victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme. This morning could Cancer Sniffing Dogs save lives and millions of pound of nhs money .
