Shanghai, April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With the expansion of China’s online market transaction scale, the overall growth rate of the online travel market has gradually stabilized. However, the current online market penetration rate remains relatively low but shows a clear upward trend. We believe that the online travel market will continue to grow at a rate higher than the overall industry for some time to come. Based on the National Tourism Administration's forecast (domestic tourism revenue of 10 trillion yuan and inbound tourism revenue of 80 billion US dollars by 2020), the total revenue of China’s tourism industry is expected to see a compound annual growth rate of approximately 19.7% from 2013 to 2020. This indicates that the online travel market will maintain a growth rate of at least 20% before 2020.
In addition, from a global perspective, the tourism industry is also showing a clear trend of integrated development. Driven by economic globalization, the cross-border, cross-sector, cross-industry, cross-industrial, and cross-department integration of tourism is becoming increasingly evident.
