Chinese Social media Management<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

As Chinese people cannot leave without social media nowadays, advertising on the various Chinese social media platforms<\/a> is very effective. Among these major platforms, we have WeChat, which is now the platform by excellence of many companies. With around 1.1 Billion registered users in 2020, Wechat has become a powerful tool for businesses around the world. It is widely used especially among Chinese youth, who are most likely to travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a second popular platform in China, we also note Weibo. It is also very powerful for sharing images and content with a wider audience. Although it cannot match the Wechat user base, it still registered nearly 500 million monthly active users in 2020. Chinese tourists often look for information on these social media platforms before making decisions about travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even small pieces of information can be useful, as Chinese tourists are very difficult. For example, last year there was an unexpected increase of 3,500% in the number of tourists traveling to Morocco from China. Indeed, images have been published in Weibo showing groups of Chinese tourists taking photos in Morocco. Subsequently, there was a sudden influx of Chinese tourists into Morocco.<\/span><\/p>\n
