China Inbound Tourism
According to the agency, the total number of foreign tourists fell slightly after 2007. Here are some possible reasons. First, because of the appreciation of the RMB and exchange rate fluctuations, the cost of traveling to China increases and many potential visitors turn to other destinations. Second, the economic recession in European and American countries causes people to spend less on travel, while European and American guests make a major contribution to the new country’s market. Third, traditional travel routes and travel products lack innovation and competitiveness. Fourth, compared to other countries, the Chinese authorities invest less in promoting inbound travel products. Fifth, the decline in the national image caused by corruption and other factors has had a negative impact on the reception market. Finally, the air pollution and food safety issues that have occurred in recent years are causing some foreign visitors to worry about travel conditions and cancel their plans for China.
