Chinese Outbound Tourism to Italy: New Trends and Business Opportunities - Online, May 23rd

The China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC) together with its Sport and Tourism Working Group (STWG) is glad to invite you to our upcoming webinar: “Chinese Outbound Tourism to Italy: New Trends and Business Opportunities”, on Thursday, May 23rd online via Zoom at 4:00 PM (Beijing Time).

 

OVERVIEW

China officially reopened its borders to travellers on January 8th, 2023, following a radical shift in the country's entry policy. Along with the opening of the policy, Chinese enthusiasm for travelling abroad is rekindled.

Before the pandemic, in 2019, Italy was one of the European countries with the highest number of Chinese visitors. Therefore, the recovery of Chinese outbound tourism represents a great opportunity for businesses operating in the tourism sector that must be seized.

How are Italian companies getting ready to welcome Chinese tourists? Who is the Chinese tourist today? And most importantly, are travellers and Chinese travel agencies and tour operators aware of what Italy can offer in terms of hospitality? 

The webinar will give an understanding of the current and future trends of Chinese outbound tourism to Italy, the preferences of Chinese travellers and the emerging trend of gourmet tourism.

The webinar will discuss:

- China outbound tourism analysis: data and trends;
- Profile and preferences of the Chinese Tourist;
- New trends and focus on agri-food tourism;
- Itineraries of the Italian Region of Tuscany.
