What impact does the increase in the number of outbound tourists have on economic development?

The number of outbound and inbound tourists and their consumption growth in China are undergoing subtle changes, from which we can see the achievements of China's economic transformation and upgrading and the enhancement of its national attractiveness.

In 20 16, the scale of China's outbound tourism market reached 654.38+022 billion person-times, and the outbound tourism expenditure was 654.38+0098 billion US dollars, up by 4.3% and 5.07% respectively. The total tourism market and the growth rate of consumption are slowing down. In the same period, the scale and consumption of China's inbound tourism market continued to grow, especially for foreign tourists.

In 20 16, China received138,443,800 inbound tourists, with a year-on-year increase of 3.5%, and the total scale reached a record high. Among them, the scale and growth rate of the inbound tourism market for foreigners were 28 1.5 1.2 million and 8.3% respectively, which was the highest since the international financial crisis.

The tax refund policy for departure is obvious for promoting inbound tourism in consumption benefit. In 20 16, China's foreign exchange income from inbound tourism was120 billion US dollars, up by 5.60% year-on-year, and continued to maintain a good trend of steady recovery, achieving a trade surplus of tourism services of102 billion US dollars.

Among them, foreign tourists spent $66.8 billion in China, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%, with a remarkable growth rate. In 20 16, China received 59.27 million overnight visitors, up 4.2% year-on-year.

Extended data:

The scale of China's inbound and outbound tourism and the growth rate of consumption show a reverse trend. Over the years, Chinese people have been keen on traveling abroad, and the situation of buying goods overseas is undergoing subtle changes.

It is true that the convenience of visas, the encryption of international flights, the landing of tax refund business and the development of a series of tourism year activities have provided convenience for overseas people to travel abroad, but it is undeniable that the stability of China's political and economic environment is the most powerful guarantee and attraction for inbound tourism.
