一位高级研究员说,由于全球经济疲软和强大的国内旅游刺激,中国的统计数据预计旅游业会首次出现逆差。中国旅游研究院(China Tourism Academy)表示,大陆游客(mainland tourist)在海外旅游上花费了420亿美元。同时,海外游客(overseas tourist)只花了380亿美元在中国大陆,同比下降7%。虽然今年的官方统计数据还没有公布,研究院估计今年的旅游赤字(deficit)将是40亿—中国旅游业的首次赤字。
China’s statistics are expected to show its first deficit in tourism, due to a weak global economy and a strong travel incentive at home, a senior researcher said. China Tourism Academy, said that mainland tourist spent some $42 billion in overseas destinations. At the same time ,overseas tourist spent only $38 billion on the mainland, down by 7percent year-on-year. Though official statistics for this year are yet to be released, the academy estimated that the tourism deficit will stand at $4 billion in this year—the first ever tourism deficit in China.
