Is the number of outbound tourists in China increasing?

In recent years, with the development of China's economy, the optimization of transportation facilities, the convenience of visas and the establishment of a multilateral cooperation mechanism in tourism, the outbound tourism market in China has been growing steadily. In 20 17, the number of outbound tourists in China reached1290,000. At the same time, the risk of China tourists encountering travel safety accidents abroad is also increasing rapidly.

In 20 16, the number of outbound tourists in China reached 654.38+0.22 billion, and the outbound tourism consumption was 654.38+0.98 billion US dollars, up by 4.3% and 5.07% year-on-year. This is the data published in China Tourism Development Analysis and Forecast (Tourism Green Book) published by Social Science Literature Publishing House in June. 17-20 18. The Green Paper on Tourism attributed the growth of China's outbound travel market to the following reasons, including the continuous improvement of transnational traffic, many countries' facilitation measures such as reducing visa fees for China tourists, and the establishment of a series of bilateral and multilateral tourism cooperation mechanisms.

The White Paper on Green Tourism also found that the top 65,438+00 destinations of China tourists in 2065,438+06 were China, Macau, China, China, Thailand, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam. The main destinations are still neighboring countries and regions.

The scale of free travel abroad exceeds 70 million, accounting for 60%.
