This book aims to curate a collection of articles to showcase the latest work and biggest trends shaping the global tourism industry in the past two decades - new technology and the Chinese tourists. While the emergence of new technology continues to propel the evolution of the tourism industry, Chinese tourists as a dominating market have won increasing attention across worldwide destinations. On one hand, the vast advancement of technology has fundamentally shifted the way Chinese tourists travel. On the other hand, the arrival of technologically savvy Chinese tourists has provoked tourism providers and destinations to adopt innovative technology (e.g., mobile payment). Standing on the edge of the third decade of the twenty-first century, the tourism industry and scholarly community are facing unprecedented challenges amidst exciting opportunities. Particularly, this line of research is perhaps timelier than ever, with the pandemic physically distancing people whilst augmenting technology's function in mediating social interactions and connecting lives beyond geographic boundaries. New Technology and Mediated Chinese Tourists will be a great resource for researchers and students of Tourism and Hospitality including those interested to understand how innovation and technology is embedded in the tourism industry. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of China Tourism Research.

Digital technologies have enabled certain opportunities for industries, societies, and companies to change for the better. The service sector has essentially evolved through significant developments in recent decades, such as the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and automated technologies, including service robots, chatbots, and virtual assistants. Both digital transformation and digital entrepreneurship are multifaceted areas that relate to varied emerging technologies that have recently dominated the current service industry. These technologies serve to enhance various sociotechnical areas, including communication and collaboration, as well as co-creating business value and promoting service automation. Digital Entrepreneurship and Co-Creating Value Through Digital Encounters contributes to the services’ digital transformation and digital entrepreneurship domain by uncovering contemporary innovations used in the modern service industry. It supports modern applications of Industry 4.0, digital transformation, and entrepreneurship to facilitate value co-creation for contemporary businesses. Covering topics such as big data management, industrial relations, and tourist destination selection, this premier reference source is an ideal resource for entrepreneurs, business owners and managers, government officials, policymakers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
This volume takes the reader through the origins of regenerative tourism and how artificial intelligence can be utilised to develop and maintain green tourism. Chapters examine everything from marketing, data mapping, employment opportunities, cultural issues as well as what the future holds for tourism to give back to countries.
As a newcomer to tourism, China has amazed the world with its rapid growth of inbound, outbound, and domestic tourism. Tourists from the Greater China area (Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) are well positioned to change the world’s tourism landscape. Influence of China in the global tourism arena will be even more significant with the realization of WTO’s vision of Mainland China as a top world tourism destination and tourists-generating country by 2020. The preeminent role of Chinese travellers in the social space of tourism has stimulated much interest in understanding their behaviors and psychology in various tourism settings. The chapters in this collection investigate different aspects of Chinese consumer behaviors and psychology in tourism settings. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of China Tourism Research.
Modern Chinese tourists have become a mainstay in global tourism. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation shows the number of Chinese travellers going abroad climbed from 2.8 million in 1997 to about 73 million in 2018. This means that as of 2018, China was fourth in terms of international visits behind Germany, the United States and Britain. Would you like to attract more of these Chinese travellers to your location, shop or brand? Then this is the book for you. Find out who China’s outbound tourists are, where they’re travelling, what they’re purchasing and why. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. China has the world’s largest pool of tourists and in the past decade, Chinese tourism has seen outstanding growth. Now more than ever, Chinese people are travelling. With growth in the larger economy and an increase in disposable income, people are also spending more on travel and in their destination. According to data from the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA), in 2000 there were only 4.5 million outbound trips. In 2018, there were 149.72 million. Purchases while travelling accounted for 11% of per-capita spending in 2018, which is twice the level recorded in 2011. Changes in Chinese travellers’ behaviour have also been noted in recent years. They’re adapting more “Western” travel habits. Instead of just going sightseeing and shopping, they’re more willing to engage in in-depth experiences of local lifestyle and culture. Unique, tailor-made travel services are also a new trend. For example, some are moving from 5-star hotels to boutique hotels or Airbnb homestays and bespoke tours are becoming more popular. We’ve created this mini book for those in the tourism industry who want to understand Chinese outbound tourists and recent trends in order to attract them and provide the best service to them. If you’ve ever asked yourself “How can my business benefit from the increasing number of Chinese travellers?”, this book will answer that question. In the past 8 years, I’ve worked with over 300 brands helping them tap into China. Since 2016, I’ve been a speaker at over 90 events and run my signature Chinese social media masterclasses across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. You’re in safe hands. Modern Chinese Tourists: Who Are They and How are They Travelling? So, who’s coming to visit? Modern Chinese tourists aren’t one group and are changing and developing every year. Some traits cross demographic boundaries, like the fact that women make up 53% of Chinese tourists, while others don’t. And things are changing rapidly because of current events and trade tensions. Understanding the differences and preferences of these groups is crucial to attracting Chinese tourists and increasing the most important kind of marketing – word of mouth. Here’s some of the key information as things stand in November 2019. Millenials One of the most desired consumer groups among marketers all over the world is millennials and China is no different. Chinese millennials, born in the 80s and 90s and now between 20 and 39 years old, are hitting prime consumption age. Described as educated, open-minded and tech-savvy, they make up 31% of China’s total population, representing 415 million consumers. BCG estimates that by 2021, millennials will make up 46% of China’s urban population. They will experience increasing purchasing power and will gradually become the main consumers of products and services. In tourism, millennials play a vital role in shaping trends, as they represent 55% of all Chinese travellers and according to a Coresight Research survey they take an average of 2.3 trips per year. They tend to be more independent and have sophisticated demands. While other travel groups pay greater attention to climate, exchange rates and prices, millennials are ready to pay more and go farther in order to experience unique cultures, cuisine and greater shopping options. Some call it the “experience it all” approach and it’s expected that they’ll keep these habits and preferences as they age. This group is also more spontaneous and makes the largest number of last minute bookings. Usually their trips are inspired and encouraged by influencers on platforms such as WeChat, Weibo and Xiaohongshu. Millennial travellers are ready to spend a significant amount of their income on travel and on average spend more per day (US$ 346) than other groups (US$ 320). Millennials are also affecting their parents’ travel choices, especially when they travel in groups with older family members.” REVIEWS “Great and relevant content!

Formerly a largely Western practice, leisure travel is today the most dynamic industry in the world in terms of growth. Developments in transport and communication systems mean tourism is now an integral part of our understanding of the world, and involved in the exponential increase of links between societies and different cultures. The Tourist Places of the World has comprehensive data on the number of international visitors annually. It also includes an original map ? not dictated by country, but by major tourist areas and places. The hierarchy of destinations drawn is highlighted by the different levels of popularity and passenger flows; from the universal places where all societies meet to the still unfrequented places. Beyond the recognition of global tourism, the challenge is to understand how and why societies can achieve a better life through sustainable development, which encompasses social, economic and environmental dimensions.
China’s Route Heritage examines the creation, development and proliferation of the route heritage discourse of the Ancient Tea Horse Road (Chamagudao), in the People’s Republic of China. Examining the formation of the tea-horse road as a concept, its development as a platform for cultural branding, and its most recent interactions with the policy of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the revival of the discourse on the Silk Roads, the book demonstrates that the tea-horse road is an important part of the discourse on Chinese modernity. Describing the route heritage of the tea-horse road as a ‘mobility narrative’, whereby an ancient route is used to form a narrative of ethnic unity and cooperation, the book demonstrates that the study of such heritage offers unique insights into issues that are of concern to the wider field of critical heritage studies. Sigley also shows how the study of alternative route heritage enables us to gain a broader sense of route heritage discourse and its implications for the discussion of historical, present and future forms of mobility and connectivity within China and beyond its borders. China’s Route Heritage should be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students who are engaged in the study of heritage, China, the Silk Roads and the BRI, politics, international relations and tourism.
