Quotes

For Johanna Vos, working at COFRI (China Outbound Tourism Research Institute) in Beijing, "the market will continue to grow especially as outbound travel has not been affected by the recent campaign against conspicuous consumption. The growth of the market had a great impact. We can not speak anymore of ONE Chinese market but many segmented markets. The sophistication of the travel market is particularly evident with experienced repeat travellers, luxury travellers who foster individual behaviour”, said Mrs. Vos. First-tier versus second/third-tier cities, differences in languages, fashion across the country, the search for an experience and for differentiation are reshaping Chineses travel habits. Mrs. Vos advised GMS to look at providing respect and prestige for the Chinese travellers, especially as the GMS is an easily accessible destination."
