China’s wealthy are travelling less overseas but spending more while abroad, according to a new study. The findings were based on a survey of 100 Chinese individuals worth at least 10 million yuan ($1.6 million), conducted by Hurun Report and the International Luxury Travel Market (full report embedded below).
The study found that the respondents’ top overseas travel destination, France, remained unchanged from last year, as did their preferred hotel brand, Shangri-La. However, they went on just 2.8 trips overseas last year, down from 3.2 in 2011.
