CHINA TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

（ 1 ） Inbound Tourism The mode of China’s tourism development

is quite different from that in most of the development countries in the world.

For political and economic purposes, China started its tourism activities based on inbound travel only. As a developing country, China gives priority to inbound tourism for its foreign exchange earnings.

（ 2 ） Domestic tourism Until the mid-1980s, domestic tourism hardly existed,

China gives priority to inbound tourism for its foreign exchange earnings;

To meet the growing demand for leisure travel among China’s own citizens and to encourage personal consumption for economic growth, the central government has issued a number of policies to promote domestic tourism.

1. In 1992, weeklong holidays were first introduced;2. In 1995, a five-day work week was introduced;3. Starting in 1999, three weeklong holidays were

established around May 1(May Day/Labor Day), October 1 (National Day), and the lunar Spring Festival of Chinese New Year.

Characteristics of domestic tourism

The average length of stay by domestic travelers was four to six days;

Purpose. The majority of domestic visitors were traveling for leisure, recreation and holidays, or visiting friends and relatives;

More than 90% of domestic visitors chose to arrange their trips by themselves;

Occupation. More than one-third visitors are the executives and professionals.

Parallel with the development of both incoming and domestic tourism, control of outbound travel has been relaxed, and some Southeast and East Asian countries have become popular destinations for Chinese visitors.

The number of outbound visitors has been increasing with each year;

The number of open destinations is growing now. CNTA has approved 132 overseas tours destinations by the

end of January,2007. Chinese citizen can travel to 86 countries and areas. As a result, China’s tourism accounts will increasingly be

more balanced, with tourist flows in both directions.

Nowadays, equal attention is paid to both international and domestic tourism in terms of their contribution to local and regional social and economic development within China.
