New Skift Research Report Offers Best Practices For Attracting Chinese Tourists

For travel brands and destinations around the world, the Chinese outbound tourism market has become a top priority. Not only did a whopping 135 million tourists originate from China in 2016, but their total travel spending was more than double that of outbound travelers from the U.S. Even more staggering is the room for growth in the market, considering that less than 10 percent of China’s population even has a passport.

To help you understand that market better, we are launching today the latest Skift Research report, Best Practices for Attracting Chinese Outbound Tourists.

We cover the mobile-centricity of Chinese travelers, their preferred booking methods, their evolving tastes in travel, and more.
