From a Major Tourism Nation to a Tourism Powerhouse—RV & Camping Inject Strong Momentum
Data shows that in 2018, domestic tourist trips reached approximately 5.54 billion, with revenue of about RMB 5.13 trillion, representing year-on-year growth of 10.76% and 12.3% respectively; the number of outbound trips by Chinese citizens was approximately 148 million, up 13.5% year-on-year. However, the reality remains that China’s tourism industry is large but not yet strong. During golden weeks and holidays, many scenic spots are overcrowded. Overall, tourism infrastructure still lags behind and struggles to meet demand. International tourism development trends show that when per capita GDP exceeds $5,000, tourism enters a phase of mass, everyday, and widespread consumption. Currently, China’s per capita GDP exceeds $7,000, and the next 20 to 35 years will be a golden period for the development of China’s tourism industry—and also for establishing China as a tourism powerhouse.
As a new form of tourism, RV & camping offers a customizable experience. RV travelers can tailor their vehicles to personal needs and freely choose travel times and destinations based on their preferences, helping to avoid crowds and disperse travel flows. This new mode of RV & camping tourism is rapidly gaining acceptance among the Chinese public. In just over a decade of RV & camping development in China, RV ownership has grown from almost zero to around 100,000 units today, demonstrating the immense potential of the RV & camping industry. RV & camping will inject strong momentum into China’s journey from a major tourism nation to a tourism powerhouse.
