1. According to the short distance criterion, Thailand and Japan are the most popular destinations for China tourists, with 9.8 million and 7.4 million people visiting these two places respectively.
2. The attraction of Asian destinations such as Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and the Philippines is increasing day by day, reflecting the good bilateral relations between China and these countries;
3. Direct flights are also a major criterion, which greatly shortens the travel time and brings China tourists to new places outside the traditional destinations in Asia.
4. The digital revolution in China is transforming tourists. They are becoming more international and advocating freedom. Although shopping is still an important activity in the journey, it has become people's pursuit to accumulate memories of traveling through local food and culture, and there are also "tournament tours" to watch some important sports events. During the trip, China tourists hope to be accompanied by the digital ecosystem, because China is already the leader of global mobile payment, and 65% of tourists choose to pay online.
With the rapid economic growth, the middle class in China is taking the lead in practicing this sentence. According to the data of the World Bank, the per capita income of China has increased by 1.54% in the past 11 years, and the economic strength of many families has reached the level that they can travel abroad.
Although most people in China will still take advantage of their holidays to travel around the country and appreciate the wonders of the motherland's thousands of years of civilization, the awakening of China people in overseas tourism is a real revolution, making the country the largest market for global tourism in the past 21 years.
According to the report of the World Tourism Organization, the number of outbound tourists in China climbed from 11.5 million in 2111 to a record 45 million in 2117, equivalent to the total population of Russia.
In addition, China is also the country with the highest outbound travel consumption, and the total outbound travel consumption of China tourists accounts for one fifth of the world. In just 21 years, the number of tourists from China, consumption abroad, has increased from $11 billion in 2111 to $258 billion in 2117, an increase of 5% over the previous year and twice that of the second-ranked United States.
Hongkong and Macau are the most popular destinations for mainland tourists in China. Other Asian tourist destinations that attract China tourists are Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, South Korea and Singapore.
Europe's lack of attraction to China tourists is expected to improve to some extent with the celebration of the China-EU Tourism Year. The promotion of European tourism has achieved remarkable results. In the first four months of this year, the number of tourists from China to Europe increased by 9.3% year-on-year.
It is reported that with the vigorous development of China's service industry, the leisure industry is thriving as a new growth engine of the country. It is predicted that by 2131, the number of outbound tourists in China will reach 411 million, which is an achievable goal, because only a few of China's 1.3 billion people currently hold passports.
The traditional destinations of outbound tourists in China are Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. With the development of inland economy, tourists from Chengdu, Chongqing and Nanjing are also keen on outbound travel.
According to china tourism academy's report, the data of the first half of 2118 can reflect this good trend, and the outbound tourists increased by 15% year-on-year, which means that the whole year of 2118 will maintain a double-digit growth.
the consolidation of China's outbound travel is undoubtedly very positive for those countries that take China as the largest source of tourists, including Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Russia, Maldives, Indonesia and South Africa.
With millions of tourists from China keen to explore new tourist destinations, the government has made outbound travel an important part of its diplomacy and given favorable policies to some destinations.
Panama is a positive example. After the formal establishment of diplomatic relations with Beijing, the China government has provided many conveniences for citizens to travel to Pakistan, and direct flights between the two sides have been opened soon. The high consumption level of tourists from China is undoubtedly a booster for destination countries.
