Spain Looks to Chinese Travelers

Spain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-end market, according to the president of the Spain-China Tourism Association.

“It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the all-included 【小题1】 . They enjoy good food, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain,” said Rafael Cascales in a recent【小题2】 with Xinhua.

The Spanish business leader described the 【小题3】 Chinese tourists as being younger, more international, and perhaps including more women. “They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The 【小题4】 large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,” he said.

Speaking of the 【小题5】 pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists the Tourism Association president said, “The money they spend is 【小题6】 better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.”

In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they 【小题7】 two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries.”

They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to【小题8】 with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.

Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors in 2017, 700,000 of them from China, a number which the United Nations World Tourism Organization 【小题9】 will rise to about 1 million by 2021.

“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施)at every level, 【小题10】 in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.
