1. Introduction
The policy of reforming and opening up has always boosted tourism in China. Tourism is closely related to many other industries. With the rapid development of tourism, these industries have grown up quickly as well.
Francis Bacon wrote in his prose Of Travel: “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.” This idea coincides with an old Chinese saying: A better way to acquire knowledge is to travel ten thousand li rather than read ten thousand volumes. Statistics from Wikipedia demonstrated that China is the world's fourth largest country for inbound tourism. The number of overseas tourists was 55 million in 2017. Foreign exchange income was 41.9 billion U.S. dollars, the worlds fifth largest in 2017. The number of domestic tourist visits totaled 1.61 billion, with a total income of 777.1 billion Yuan. China's tourism revenue reached $185 billion in 2017. According to the WTO, in 2020, China will become the largest tourist country and the fourth largest for overseas travel. In terms of total outbound travel spending, China is currently ranked fifth and is expected to be the fastest growing in the world from 2017 to 2017, jumping into the number two slot for total travel spending by 2017.
