Tour bookings show outbound travelers' tastes are evolving

With more Chinese seeking diverse experiences overseas, some uncommon destinations are receiving attention, reports Zhu Wenqian

Chinese tourists are increasingly preferring high-quality hotels and memorable experiences when they travel abroad, reflecting their rising purchasing power and evolution of taste, travel agencies said.

For this year's Oct 1-7 National Day holiday, when Chinese tourists' outbound travels peak, prices of overseas travel packages are same as, or slightly cheaper than, last year's.
