Why Chinese outbound tourism?

China remains the biggest tourism source market in the world. 170 million outbound trips started in Mainland China in 2019, at least the same number can be expected again for 2022. In the post-virus world, Chinese outbound travellers move from sightseeing to experience, from brands to lifestyle and from Disney to authentic nature and culture. They are looking for new destinations, new offers and new activities. Feeling welcome, safe and satisfied by products adapted to their specific needs and expectation will let them recommend your services to their peers for a sustainable and profitable business.
