Chinese travelers made 162 border crossings in 2018, an increase of 12 percent year-on-year, according to COTRI Chinese Outbound Tourism Research Institute. That alone is impressive, considering China is the largest outbound tourism market in the world but that’s not all.
This segment of the tourism market also proved to be a lucrative one as big spending Chinese tourists alone spend US$258 billion, accounting for a quarter of the total global tourism spending, making them the world’s biggest spenders in 2017, according to the UNWTO barometer.
