Integrated services and diversified products drive forward the development of inbound tourism
The rapidly developing Chinese tourism market has customarily been regarded as the "meat and potatoes" of the world's tourism industry, inbound tourism has received the same close attention. In 2016, the inbound tourism to China maintained growth of 3.8% with 138 million inbound tourists.
The development of all-China tourism, for example, has given that segment an endogenous power. Consequently, the growing international airline capacity and the changing RMB exchange rate have brought forth new opportunities for inbound tourism, together with continuously optimized policy environment for inbound travel. Moreover, the Belt and Road Initiative has been conducive to inbound tourism in that it has created new channels and opportunities, as the China Tourism Academy has indicated.
Product development has always been a pillar of CAISSA Tourism Group's success. The 12 inbound travel routes being announced are noteworthy, as they include the Zen tour to famous mountains and temples, a traditional drama tour, the Silk Road tour, the Eurasian Silk Road special rail tour and so on. All these products are designed to boost inbound tourism from multiple perspectives such as culture, gastronomy, outdoor sports and cruising, as part of an effort to remain consistent with the Belt and Road Initiative and present the charm of a "beautiful China".
