Chinese travellers finding sustainable alternatives

Friday, March 17, 2023

Chinese travellers are involved in issues of eco-friendly influence, and are beginning to find out sustainable substitutes.

However, many people are still not adapted to the notion of paying extra for sustainable travel.

In total, 85 percent of Chinese tourists consider sustainable travel as significant or extremely significant. 60 percent are worried about climate change.

However, research also found that many Chinese customers are not yet aware of the notion of paying additional for sustainable travel.

A white paper on this issue was released collaboratively by a hospitality group, in association with a Shanghai-based travel operator, and a global management consulting firm.

The firm scrutinizes the ecological effect of China’s tourism segment, studies Chinese travellers’ feeling toward sustainability and eventually evaluates the act that is obligatory for important stakeholders in China’s tourism division to make sustainable changes.

In 2019, tourism signified around 6-8 percent of China’s total carbon discharges, as per the white paper.

The report known as, ‘The path toward eco-friendly travel in China,’ suggests that by embracing a set of cooperative procedures through the industry value chain, from visitors to key global sources, China’s tourism segment could change toward a more ecological future.

The world is encountering an unmatched sustainability threat, and the Chinese tourism sector has a noteworthy role in the essential alteration of hospitality.
