Where rich Chinese tourists are travelling in 2023
Nothing is ever as it seems: despite Sino-Japanese tensions caused by a dispute over some uninhabited island, 29% of survey respondents from mainland China ranked Japan as their top travel destination in 2023. That is an 18% increase from previous years.
With so many new openings, events, and other occurrences in Japan right now, it’s hardly surprising that a big increase in foreign travellers followed the border’s reopening in October. With Japan listed as the top destination for Chinese New Year 2023, which falls on January 22, it appears that this trend will continue in the coming year.
The research was conducted by the travel service Kkday, which found that reservations for experiences in Japan were more common than those for other Asian nations.
Here are some historical explanations
First, in 2013, the yen fell about 22% against the US dollar while the yuan appreciated almost 3% against the dollar. This translated into Japan becoming a shopping heaven for rich Chinese tourists. Vivian Hong, president of Travelzoo’s China operation, Travelzoo Lv You Zu stated that while in Japan those shoppers would buy a wide range of products from Louis Vuitton bags to $1000 rice cookers.
Second, Japan has been a hot destination for tourists coming from Hong Kong and Taiwan because of the country being only a short flight distance and having a very particular culture. Meanwhile, mainlands Chinese have discovered themselves fond of the country’s scenery, food and atmosphere.
A shift in the current tourist trends: Hong Kong and Thailand are on the rise.
Travelzoo is present in the mass market around the globe except in China where it targets only wealthy tourists with income superior to $50000. There is a shift in the most favourite destination for that market segment, places like Australia, The Maldives are losing popularity while Hong Kong and Thailand see no significant increase in the number of mass-market tourists as reported by Travelzoo.
In 2023 destination to watch is definitely Taiwan. The island, which ranked 4th last year, has gone up to 3rd this year in this year’s popular destinations probably because people from big cities can travel alone rather than in groups making it easier to go back. Last, but not least, Taiwan and mainland China have a lot in common starting with the language, Mandarin which makes it easy for mainland citizens to find their way around. After the language comes the Chinese culture, well-preserved to the point where mainland Chinese prefer to bring their families to Taiwan for important celebrations like the Lunar New Year.
They were fifth last year; they are second this year in Travelzoo’s top destination list for Chinese travellers: the U.S. People going to the U.S. usually visit campuses and do some outlet shopping like Mr Xuan, bringing his 13-year-old son this summer to visit colleges, Disneyland and Universal Studios. His family has also planned to buy some clothing in outlet malls.
Chinese develop a knack for outbound tourism, but what of foreigners visiting China?
Jason Yap, CEO of Travelzoo (Asia Pacific) Inc., stated travel deals to China on its websites outside the country aren’t selling nearly as well as outbound travel tours on its Chinese website. Why is that?
The main problems are the rising yuan, causing China to stop being the cheap destination for the other Asian countries it once was; then comes the heavy pollution in China’s top-tier cities and outbreaks of food scandals.
So how to promote your travel destination to affluent Chinese?
Expert Tips:
- Develop a Chinese Website – build your digital home in China
- Improve visibility – make Chinese find you on Baidu
- Work with Chinese media – press releases are a must
- Use Chinese KOLs – let Chinese travel bloggers share messages with their audience
- Be social – build your communities on Red and Wechat

Do you teach the Chinese tourists social gracefulness? They can be brassy everywhere they go.
Dear Will,
Chinese tourists have to deal with the huge cultural gap between them and most Western countries. However this is improving thanks to their quick learning and the measures taken by their government. We can’t teach but we can promote 😉
Any single real tourist agency or tour operator need some more information about how to welcome and handle with Chinese tourists. Cultural differences between Europe and China is huge, but we all know majority of tourists are good non complicated people. But I really would like to know more.
In Iceland I can not go with them to hard Amazon forest or high class botanic park. Here nature simply is based on volcanoes geysers, geothermal, waterfall, and anything connecting with sea and fresh water including fishing or whale watching.
Is there something Chinese tourist was aspect in various European countries and they were been disappointed or is it simply culture as main barricade?
I am founder of Mercury Grail tour, operation company.
Day or longer tours in Iceland are our top but we are specialized for senior and spiritual tours as country have enough points for practitioners.
We also are offering Balkan traveling with must stop in any single important place in former Yugoslavian countries.
Dear Andres,
All problems stem from one : cultural difference and the difficuly to asses the Chinese tourists and what they like. That’s where we come in and can help

Bhutan is a tiny, remote and impoverished kingdom nestling in the Himalayas between its powerful neighbors, India and China. Almost completely cut off for centuries, it has tried to let in some aspects of the outside world while fiercely guarding its ancient traditions. The Bhutanese name for Bhutan, Druk Yul, means “Land of the Thunder Dragon” and it only began to open up to outsiders in the 1970s. Bhutan’s ancient Buddhist culture and breathtaking scenery make it a natural tourist attraction. Tourists must travel as part of a pre-arranged package or guided tour.
Bhutan is known for the best holiday destination in the world. People from all over the world come to Bhutan to experience tradition, culture, landscape, trekking, kayaking, rafting and most of all HAPPINESS!
Bhutan Dragon Rider Travels is a travel company specialized in providing perfect holiday package. We ensure you are fully satisfied and extremely happy. We give you holiday of a life time.
