Description du livre
China's international tourism industry is gradually rising from the ashes after three years of travel restrictions imposed in response to China's "zero Covid" policy. This gradual recovery has prompted three geographers, specialized in understanding these trends, to pool their research and present an overview of the current state of Chinese international outbound tourism.
Drawing on their extensive field experience in Wuhan, Phuket, Paris and Nice, these three researchers have combined their complementary and original approaches to explore the underlying mechanisms of the flow of Chinese tourists, from their origins to the most popular destinations.
Chinese Outbound Tourism highlights the particularities of the Chinese tourism system, as well as the complex dynamics at work behind the 170 million international trips made before the pandemic by nationals of this "socialist country with Chinese characteristics".
