Since 1999, China has embarked on an unprecedented rate of travel industry growth domestically and internationally. This rate is expected to remain stable at over 10% for the next 12 years, on course to make China the top tourist destination and tourism source market by 2020.

While the size of the market for travel products and services is potentially huge, generating real profits has remained an allusive goal for many reasons. Most important of these is the communication and cultural gap, followed closely by restrictive legal and financial policies still in place in China.

The WTM-ChinaContact forum is the only international event outside of China that is designed to unlock the mystery of doing business with China’s tourism sector. Through a series of forums and interactive workshops, delegates will learn effective communication methods and understand how to navigate the legal and financial obstacles in the way.

This landmark event held at the premier international travel trade exhibition, World Travel Market, is now in its second year. Support is secured from international organisations and industry leaders as well as global travel trade media partners. As the world’s attention turns firmly to focus on China, no travel organisation can afford to miss this rare opportunity for real knowledge and networking with Chinese travel professionals.

This forum is for anyone interested in this sector who wants to learn more and discuss issues related to China's tourism environment.

Feel free to ask questions and make your comments.
