Chinese travelers will impact global travel demand significantly during the next 10 years,
according to a report released by InterContinental Hotels Group and Oxford Economics. The report indicates that China’s travelers are trending toward long-haul international destinations for leisure travel and mixed business-leisure travel. Projections suggest the United States would experience the most Chinese demand outside Asia. New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas all expect between 1 million and 2.4 million room nights from Chinese travelers in 2023. Other global cities predicted to see an uptick in Chinese demand include Sydney, Melbourne, London, Milan, Paris, Tokyo and Bangkok.
