• Online influencer marketing: creating buzz of the product so the client
makes up the mind before visiting the travel agent
• Chinese consumers heavily use the Internet to make purchase decisions
• Travel agents in China recommend travel packages that they have either
known or offer the best incentives if the consumer does not have a
special destination in mind
• To be in the consumers mind prior to contact a travel agent is the target
• Have a relevant and engaging Chinese website, optimized for Chinese
search engines and hosted in China, and leverage social media websites
with touch points to drive traffic back to the website in order to spread
the word about the brand , capture consumer data, and start
communicating with the consumer to build a value-based relationship.

Travel Motivation
• Rising Incomes
• Easier to get visas, hard
currency and passports
• Travelling abroad for
business and education
inspires them to return to
the same destinations for
leisure
• Travel (especially to
Europe) as a status symbol
• In-depth travel is becoming
more popular than multi-
country packages
• Status, novelty, culture,
shopping, time, cost, food
Travel Needs
• Safety of a destination
• Ease of getting a visa
• Other factors:
-Natural Scenic Beauty
-Well-known landmarks
-Friendly local people
But…
• Good Chinese food not
always available
• Quality level not according
to Chinese expectations
China Outbound Tourism 2010:
Greater interest in in-depth travels by Chinese travellers:
• The survey of the China Tourism Academy
2009/2010 shows that Chinese tour operators are
increasing their range of products, meeting
the growing demand for more sophisticated
travel offers from Chinese customers.
• Niche market and special interest products
gain opportunities to attract Chinese visitors.
