Report reveals outbound tourism trends

Chinese tourists spent $128.7 billion overseas in 2013, up 26.8 percent on the year before

More than half of China's outbound tourists are from the post-80s generation, and traveling the world as a family has become more popular in recent years, according to a market research report on tourism.

The World Tourism Cities Federation, or WTCF, released the report to give its member cities and organizations a better understanding of China's outbound tourism market. The survey was designed and carried out by Ipsos, a France-based market research company, in July.
