We’ve dedicated this eBook to travel businesses, tour operators, and activity providers looking to attract travelers from China.
Chinese tourists are traveling everywhere and as you may have noticed, they are frequently traveling even outside of Asia. For example, Europe is a common destination and very popular among Chinese tourists. That’s why it’s no surprise that tour and activity companies are focusing on targeting Chinese tourists as well as looking for ways to woo their customers coming from the East.
If you’re a professional tour operator, you want to know how to successfully attract Chinese tourists to your destination and best attend to their needs and expectations. Luckily, we have all the answers you need.
In 2017, more than 131 million Chinese tourists traveled across the globe, spending about $115 billion overseas.
According to Chinese Outbound tourism travel report, “based on the gender and age data, the report estimates that in 2019, 41% of outbound tourists will be males while 59% will be females, an increase of 18%.”
The World Tourism Organization expects that, in 2020, a quarter of all Asian tourists visiting Europe will come from China. Furthermore, the UK Telegraph stated that “the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute (COTRI) predicts that overseas trips by the country’s residents will increase from last year’s figure of 145m to more than 400m by 2030.”

China is opening up to the world which, of course, sparked up their interest to travel and get to know the world around them in a different way.
Did you know that only about 10% of Chinese citizens own a passport?
Yet, the ones who do, China’s middle class, they tend to use their passport and resources to travel and see the world. However, applying for foreign visas is still a difficult process so a large percentage of Chinese tourists still spend their holidays in domestic destinations.
