China Inbound Tourism Seen Adding Up to 3 Trillion Yuan Over Next Decade

China’s inbound tourism could generate 1 trillion to 3 trillion yuan in potential market growth over the next 10 years, according to a report released on September 10 by the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation’s international services trade institute at the China International Fair for Trade in Services. The report, produced with support from Trip.com Group, said inbound tourism has established a solid base and could enter a high-quality development phase, with inbound tourism revenue as a share of GDP expected to rise to the international average.

The headline figure is a projection, not an observed trend, and its range is wide enough to be read as a directional signal rather than a forecast. What matters is the framing: the report ties inbound tourism to a GDP share benchmarked against the international average, which positions it as a structural growth story rather than a cyclical recovery. The involvement of Trip.com suggests industry data and platform capacity are being folded into the policy conversation. Whether that GDP-share convergence actually materializes — and how it is measured — is the open question.
