Examining the possibilities in the field of Chinese outbound tourism enabled by contemporary online services, the webinar will analyse market opportunities from the perspective of both Chinese customers and international service providers. This will include a discussion of the most up-to-date Chinese social media tools including WeChat and beyond, as well as the many opportunities provided by Dragon Trail Interactive’s China Travel Academy training and e-learning platform. The platform can be used both as a means of disseminating destination information directly to potential Chinese clients, as well as a tool to train tourism service providers around the world via the recently-released online version of COTRI’s CTW Chinese Tourist Welcome Programme.

Gaining a valuable insight into the newest, most innovative online tools that have become indispensable to Chinese outbound travellers, as well as platforms through which international tourism providers can both reach the market and learn about visitors’ needs, webinar participants will be able to craft marketing strategies suited to their rapidly-evolving customer base and equip themselves for future developments.
