    SItuation in 2014! (10 years agoo)\u00a0<\/h2>\n

    \"chinese-traveler-800\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/h3>\n

    All countries around the world have realized that Chinese people were the new category of tourists they have to attract at all costs, all the more so as everyone know that Chinese are big spenders. That is why capturing Chinese\u2019s interest would be extremely interesting for any country.<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Here is the new full list of the top-ranked destinations for Chinese outbound tourists:<\/p>\n

    1. New Zealand<\/strong>
    2.\u00a0United States<\/strong>
    3.\u00a0Canada
    <\/strong>4. Australia
    5. Singapore
    6. Italy
    7. Thailand
    8. United Kingdom
    9. France
    10. South Korea
    11. Germany
    12. Japan
    13. Spain
    14. Philippines
    15. Russia
    16. Malaysia
    17. Brazil
    18. South Africa
    19. Cambodia
    20. Indonesia
    21. Vietnam<\/p>\n

    So, the winner of this year is New Zealand! This is not surprising: it has already been demonstrated that New Zealand attracts +30% Chinese tourists per year! New Zealand Tourism is changing with the arrival of Chinese travelers. All the industry of the country profit to this new target, and helped boost overall shopping spending by 500 million dollars last year. China is the second market for New Zealand\u2019s tourism!<\/p>\n

    What happened to France? You have probably noticed that France, which used to be the top destination for Chinese tourists, moved to the 9th<\/sup> place. The country is gradually losing its leadership in terms of Chinese tourists\u2019 favorite destination. At the bottom of the list, we can find Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, China no longer attracts visitors<\/h3>\n

    Chinese are less and less interested in visiting their own country because of smog and crowds across China. That is why Chinese people tend to go abroad when they are on holiday. It is the same for inbound visitors: whether because of pollution or some other reason, the number of foreign tourists fell by 3%, down to 31 million.<\/p>\n
