The successful bid is directly linked to the development of China’s RV and camping industry

China’s successful bid to host the World RV and Camping Congress is directly related to the rapid development of the country’s RV and camping industry in recent years. Although compared to the RV ownership in Europe and America, China’s RV industry and RV tourism are still in their early stages, the sector has been growing rapidly with huge potential. In just three years, from 2016 to 2018, China’s RV ownership surged from 48,600 to 100,000 units, and it is expected to see further significant growth by 2022.

China’s RV and camping industry is developing rapidly, especially in the East China region. In 2018, China had 1,239 established campsites and 451 under construction, totaling 1,690. Among them, the East China region had 440 campsites. Shanghai, the host city of the 93rd World RV and Camping Congress in 2022, also boasts a considerable number of high-quality RV campsites, providing solid infrastructure for hosting the event.
