What are the prospects for tourism development?

China's tourism industry is facing major development opportunities: China's sustained and rapid economic growth will certainly play a fundamental supporting role in the growth of tourism demand; the income of urban and rural residents will grow steadily, and by 2020 the per capita GDP will reach about 3,500 U.S. dollars or even more, which will enter a stage of explosive growth of the tourism industry recognized by the world's tourism industry.

The country's economic development strategy of expanding domestic demand and accelerating the development of the service industry will create new opportunities for the further development of the tourism industry; the further expansion of China's opening up to the outside world will create more favorable conditions for China's tourism industry to play a better role in the international market and on the world stage.

Wang Xinjun, assistant to the president of China Kanghui Travel Agency, said, "In the coming period, China's travelers will choose neighboring countries and regions with medium and short distances as the main destinations for their trips. Meanwhile, long-distance destinations such as Europe, America and Oceania will become the most popular travel destinations."

The National Tourism Administration analyzed that with the advancement of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the demand for tourism consumption will be greatly increased, which is the driving force for the continued prosperous development of the tourism industry. At the same time, with the further rise of China's economy, culture, politics and the development of international exchanges, international tourism will continue to maintain high growth, international tourism products and industry management will gradually reach the world's advanced level.
