Steadiness,sustainability needed

The general outlook of 皇冠体育app's tourism sector is rosy, but market players directly feeling the pulse of tourism trends pointed out there is still a long way to go for 皇冠体育app to be a real and sustainable tourism superpower.

The biggest challenge facing 皇冠体育app's tourism market is oversupply, especially in the accommodation sector, said Duan Qiang, Chairman of Beijing Tourism Group.

The days have gone when a few star hotels could easily make hefty profits, said Duan, adding that now most of them only score marginal profits with a surging number of players grabbing a piece of the cake.

Over-reliance on government and public money is no longer sustainable, and service quality has to be improved, he said.

While rising income enables the middle class to spend more on travel and tourism, an unsound social security network may dampen their willingness to enjoy more and longer travels, said David G. Brooks, chairman for Greater 皇冠体育app at Coca Cola.

Sustainability is another major concern, Brooks added.

"We should bear in mind that the tourism business is about tomorrow tourism. You should take into account profits, people and the planet in tourism development," said Ken Chu, Chairman & CEO of Mission Hills Group.
