NEWPORT -- The Newport Preservation Society is looking to attract more Chinese speakers to the city's famed mansions. It's announcing an initiative today to team with Bryant University in Smithfield to offer tours in Mandarin for Chinese tourists. Under the agreement, Bryant's U.S.-China Institute will translate the society's tour scripts into Mandarin. It also will provide a Mandarin speaker for Chinese tour groups at the mansions. Denise Schweren of Bryant says the initiative will help welcome more Chinese tourists to Newport. -- The Associated Press
