Riding on the success of this year’s show, ITB China, taking place from 16 – 18 May 2018, has partnered with China Tourism Academy (CTA) to mutually promote each other as well as to enhance business opportunities and raise global awareness for the Chinese tourism industry. The China Tourism Academy is a research institution directly under the China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) with a focus on studies in the tourism industry, such as tourism research, data analysis and tourism promotion. The institute is promoting China tourism industry development and international exchanges.
The research conducted by China Tourism Academy focusing on China’s outbound travel will be presented at ITB China 2018. The research analyses the overall situation of the development of outbound tourism by the market environment, industry operation and consumption characteristics, forecasts developmental trends and puts forward suggestions to the respective organizations. A talk on this topic will also be given by the institute.
Bin Dai, President of China Tourism Academy said: “The promotion of Chinese travel brands need to work together with marketing platforms with more expertise and broader international visions, while global exhibition firms also need to participate in the world's largest travel market. China Tourism Academy is pleased to work together with ITB China and forge higher-level international tourism communication and collaboration on business insights, data sharing, technological application and talent cultivation.
