Chinanews, Beijing, March 20 – In MasterCard's recent report on tourism in China, it is estimated1 that some 17.24 million Chinese might travel abroad in the first half of 2007, a 12% growth2.
If MasterCard's estimation becomes true, China's outbound tourism will be the fastest-growing one in Asia. However, the growth rate of outbound tourism of the whole Asian-Pacific area in the first half of 2007 will only be a little less than 8%, even slower than last year, especially in Hong Kong, South Korea3 and Malaysia. Hong Kong's outbound tourism grew by 15% in the second half of 2006, but it is estimated that its growth in the first half of 2007 will only be 4.5%. The figures of South Korea and Malaysia will be from 9% to 3.6% and from 12.5% to 7.8% respectively4.
