China's Outbound Travellers Continue To Surge In 2011 Return to Headlines
China's tourism authorities estimate that the number of Chinese tourists travelling overseas surged 20% year-on-year to 69 million in 2011. Despite a slowdown in the Chinese economy, the growth rate only dipped slightly from 20.4% in 2010. The country's tourism sector saw revenues soar by 20.8% year-on-year to RMB2.25 trillion (U$356 billion) in 2011. However, the authorities predict a slower growth of outbound tourists in 2012, citing the negative effects of the economic downshift and inflationary pressure on people's appetite for travelling. The China National Tourism Authority (CNTA) expects 77 million Chinese to travel overseas in 2012, up 12% year-on-year. Total tourism revenues will climb 14% annually to RMB2.57 trillion in 2012, with 500,000 jobs created in the sector, as the CNTA plans.
