Elevator Story
I am trying to learn about the tourism growth from China in Europe.
Because I want to find out if the Chinese market is one of the sectors with major growth opportunities and discover its impact on the future. Analyse the ways to adapt to this growth and its huge market.
In order to make my reader be aware of the growing Chinese tourism and the great opportunities it can lead to.

In this article Holmes certifies that there are more Chinese tourists coming to Europe than the U.S.A.

Holmes is straightforward and evaluative over his points.

In this article Harney debates the impact on Europe after the new regulations inserted in China (Restriction on group travel is lifted and Europe is one of the approved destinations) providing us with some estimates of number of Chinese tourists coming to Europe and informs us about the most attractive destinations for them.

    “Culture is King”, says Normberg (2013) on rules for doing business overseas. In China, “face” and “guan xi” are two important concepts to master. For example, Chinese people highly appreciate gift from a high level company extinctive. This attention builds “face” (Kermeliotis, 2011). In time, this builds “guan xi”, which are long-term relationships. It is about whom you know, not what you know. (Collins, 2007, p277-278) If you have a good business network, everything will go more smoothly.…

    The factors leading to the rapid growth of tourism in China are well known. Evolving in relative isolation, China was long distinct from the West and still is. The 19th and 20th centuries, unfortunately, were cruel to China resulting in domination by the expanding colonial powers who viewed the country as a source of markets, merchandise, and raw materials, not the home of a great civilization. Post World War 11 revolutionary activities gave birth to the People’s Republic that was established as an alternative to the exploitation, disrespect, and humiliation that had been painfully endured for many years. Few foreign visitors were able to visit China during the early years of the People’s Republic and, as a result, the inbound tourism industry was almost nonexistent. Most citizens of China, furthermore, had little opportunity to travel outside their country and, due to this fact, Chinese demands had almost no impact upon world tourism. After the vogue of the Cultural Revolution died down, however, Deng Xiaoping gained a significant leadership role in China and is credited with introducing the market…

    Hong Kong is one of the largest outbound tourism markets in Asia and was ranked just after China (4th in Asia) and 15th in the World in 2010. The trends of departure population and international spending are both rising through years. According to UNWTO, Hong Kong generated US$17.5 billion on international tourism expenditure in 2010, up 12% over 2009. Compared to China at US $54.9 billion, Japan at US$27.9 billion and South Korea at US$17.7 billion in the same year with its much smaller population, Hong Kong is thus having a higher per capita expenditure on international tourism than the above top three Asian countries. The results reflect that Hong Kong people are frequent travelers and regard overseas holiday as part of their lifestyle. Apart from the international tourism spending from the Government statistics, there was also an increase in the number of departures by 3% more with 84.44 million in 2010, showing that more and more citizens departed to overseas from Hong Kong. The huge expenditure and departure figures show that Hong Kong has a huge market in its outbound tourism business. Due to the growing market, the number of Licensed Travel Agents in the last 9 years has been increasing.…
