China: the power of the people
The make-up of tourism around the world will change significantly over the next two decades, says a Hong Kong university academic.
Speaking at the World Travel Monitor Forum in Pisa, Professor Haivan Song of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University said, “By 2030 China will be the world’s most popular tourism destination.â€
He added, “At the current rate, China will be an economic power equal to Europe and the US combined. China’s role in international tourism will be similar.â€
And during the next 20 years China would replace Germany as the world’s most travelled nation, he said.
“When visa regulations for citizens from the People’s Republic of China eventually change, tourists from China can be expected to vastly outnumber those from any other country.“
Launched by the consultancy IPK International and sponsored by ITB Berlin, the World Travel Monitor Forum in Pisa hears about current issues and trends from tourism experts.
