Chinanews, Hohhot, July 11 �C According to the information released at
the Summit Forum of the Development of Tourism in North China, by 2015
China will witness 3 billion tourists (by person-time count), including
100-million-plus incoming travelers and 100 million outward-bound
travelers. By then, China will be the biggest tourist destination and the
fourth biggest tourist source in the world.
Shao Qiwei, the director of the National Tourism Administration, released
the above information. The data are based on the estimation of the World
Tourism Organization, although its previous estimation was that China
would not achieve the goal mentioned above before 2020.
In 2006, about 34.52 million Chinese traveled abroad, making it the
biggest tourist source in Asia, and the domestic tourism market received
1.39 billion tourists (by person-time count), nearly the same as the
total population in China. The number of tourists from abroad was 49.91
million.
�� The scale of tourism market in China might be doubled before 2015, ��
said Shao.
