Maybe they want someone from out of town and they get random people from Richmond to show them around?

I think the tourism board that put this marketing ploy out probably wanted to promote non-Chinese visitors as Chinese tourists will come here regardless because there is an established Asian community, good quality of life, and some of the best Asian food outside of Asia. It's probably safe to say that when they do visit, they have friends/family that will take them to local favorites already.
Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not against you, I'm just trying to explain the mentality/influences that affect the board's decision-making.
