He said that despite the changes in the travel market, he believes &#8220;group tours&#8221; will remain their first choice.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that many tour operators have closed down or reduced their capacity due to the pandemic.

They clearly represent two different clients who do not have the same needs or the same motivations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SAFETY CONCERN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Increasingly connected to the Internet, 75% of Chinese pay attention to free Wi-Fi access in a hotel. The second service that a Chinese wants is the provision of a kettle in the room. Surprising? For them, it is mandatory to be able to make a tea or noodles at any time of the day in his hotel room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Chinese customers also appreciate the welcome signs, web sites, tour guides and signposts.

Regarding the hotel, 66% want a Chinese restaurant and 18 % appreciate the presence of stores for shopping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social Media<\/strong> are also a positive factor, Chinese love to see attractive pictures online before choose their Luxury hotels. Social networks (like Wechat or Weibo) represent a major platform to choose their type of trip. Brand\u2019s websites also have a strong influence on tourists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Positive Reviews:<\/strong> For recommendation and reservation, 60% of Chinese ask advice from their friends.
