China’s tourism numbers to surge
BEIJING – Total revenue in China’s tourism industry is expected to grow 13 percent to hit US$205 billion in 2010, as the country rolls out favourable policies to back the industry, said the China Tourism Academy in a new report.
Chinese tourists are forecast to make 2.1 billion domestic trips this year, up 12 percent from 2009.
The number of inbound trips by overseas tourists would reach 136 million, up eight percent from a year earlier, while outbound trips by Chinese tourists would advance 15 percent to 54 million.
The Chinese government posted guidelines last December to promote the development of the tourism industry, vowing to lower market threshold and simplify approval procedures for tourism enterprises, and encourage local authorities to attract overseas investment, opening the domestic tourism market to foreign companies.
