This could have been true ten years ago, but it is definitely not true anymore. Most of Chinese outbound tourists are looking for quality hotels and resorts, and are ready to pay for. It is a huge marketing and intercultural mistake to offer Chinese travelers only cheap travel opportunities : Dare to offer them the best services.

We will cover he world. In Israel we read from Right to Left. So, we will cover most nations, from East to West. The title of the post is a bit misleading. It would be better if tourism was replaced by Positioning. But, for now lets stick to that. Now Close your eyes and shift East. Think Vietnam: What do you see - eyes wide shut? Can you name those 3 things you see ? Let me guess: 1. Vietnam War 2. Rice 3. Poor.

This is quite informative and should be taken seriously. In Australia here to keep tourists coming we need everyone to be aware of these issues. http://redgumvillage.com.au/blog/2008/09/02/you-are-driving-home-real-tired-and-need-a-cheap-clean-comfortable-bed-for-a-few-hours-sleep-where-do-you-go/#more-20 Cheers Kevin These issues are very simular to that in Oceania and as a tourist we should all take notice.

"infrastructure and sustainability" are the two big issues for China's tourism, at least. China is in no short of travel resources, either nature or culture. But certain local infrastructure(sometimes service level as well) and short-term developing plans are disappointing.
