COTRI Director Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Georg Arlt in Forbes: Age Is Just a Number, Misbehaving Abroad, Chinese New Year and Dining Options

The last fortnight has seen several blogs contributed to Forbes.com by Professor Wolfgang Georg Arlt of the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute. ‘For Chinese Tourists, Age is Just a Number,’ discusses the diversification of the outbound Chinese tourism market, as increasingly, younger and older Chinese are travelling abroad, booking online as opposed to via agencies, and for a greater variety of reasons. In ‘Unruly Chinese Tourists Counteract The Government’s Soft Power Plans,’ Arlt discusses issues a minority of misbehaving Chinese tourists are representing for the majority of well-behaved Chinese abroad. Meanwhile ‘This Chinese New Year, More People Than Ever Expected to Travel Outside Of The Country’ speculates as to where Chinese tourists will go on their Chinese New Year holidays. Finally, wondering what the Chinese eat when they are abroad? Find out in ‘Local Food vs. Chinese Food: What Do Chinese Tourists Eat When They Travel?’
