  • Long-distance travel: exponential demand
  • Business travel caught up with leisure travel: Chinese travellers will harmoniously mix business and leisure travel by 2023, nearly two-thirds (62%) Chinese who go abroad will do so for leisure and no longer for business, which will be a major turning point.
  • Spending on the rise: 75% by 2023

C) Rising household wages: a key factor in explaining this change

D) Major cities, popular destinations:

  • More than 85% of Chinese travellers first travel to major cities of international renown and almost 95% of their spending is in these cities.
