There are winners and losers when it comes to Chinese tourists, reports Commercial Real Estate (9 April 2017). Chinese tourists have increasingly grown sophisticated over the years, and with many Chinese increasingly evolving from group travellers to become more adventurous free and independent travellers keen on experiential travel, destinations that can adapt to these new needs will reap the largest benefit from these changes. According to Charles Pittar, CEO of Chinese property website Juwai.com, apart from airfare, it would be hotels and short-term stay rentals that are more likely to be the biggest winners of the boom, as Chinese tourists spend more on lodging than any other single expense.
