The webinar presented never before seen results from an EU-funded survey by KAIROS – Report on the latest and future developments in tourism flows from China to Europe. 26,000 reviews about European attractions and activities were downloaded and analysed for information about the positive and negative opinions expressed by Chinese travellers in relation to European destinations and travel products.

Further parts discussed the characteristics of the demand structure of different segments of the Chinese international tourism source market, introduced the specific structure of the Chinese tourism industry and gave hints for the successful interaction with Chinese business partners.

Serving also as preparation for the World Bridge Tourism Shanghai event held in conjunction with the ITB China on the 9th and 10th May, 2017, the webinar provided information about the ITB China, and activities in connection with the WBT project in Shanghai in May.
