“…Today, however, there is a growing trend towards travelling independently, with Chinese visitors searching for experiences rather than monuments (Arlt, 2013;Tourism Australia, 2012). The rising popularity of online travel agents has also helped stimulate demand for independent travel amongst the Chinese (Bremner, 2013).…”

a b s t r a c tChina is an important and growing market for the Australian tourism industry, yet our understanding of what Chinese independent tourists seek in the way of experiences is limited. Studies in Europe, USA and Australia show that Chinese international students tend to travel extensively while studying overseas, and consequently are able to provide insights into the needs, preferences and perceptions of the emerging Chinese independent market. Using Chinese tertiary students studying in Australia as participants, this research explores their preferences for, and perceptions of, Australian tourism products. Responses from surveys and follow-up focus group interviews reveal that iconic attractions, naturebased activities and photography are particularly attractive to this market. The Internet and word-ofmouth advertising are important sources of information; while costs, distances and lack of time are barriers to travel. Personal safety is also a key concern in natural environments. Students' travel plans for visiting friends and family and their suggestions for tailoring tourism products to meet the needs of independent Chinese visitors are also discussed.

“…The fertile socio-economic conditions that encouraged domestic tourism also prompted outbound tourism (Xie and Li 2009;Arlt 2013;Xiang 2013;Dai, Jiang, Yang and Ma 2016;Zhang 2016). While commentators differ on its precise trajectory (Xie and Li 2009;Zhang 2016, p. 32), the overall pattern is clear.…”

Abstract:In the United Kingdom, domestic mass tourism began in the midnineteenth century during a period of peace and increased prosperity. It was facilitated by the railways, that enabled the rapid movement of people in bulk, and later by mass production of the motor car. Similarly, international mass tourism emerged in Europe and North America after the second World War, with stability, increasing prosperity, and advances in air transport. Similar socio-economic and political conditions led first to mass domestic tourism and then international tourism in Japan and China, and in both the state played an explicit and supportive part in tourism development. In all cases, mass tourism increasingly attracted academic attention, as seen most recently in the explosion of studies (in English and Chinese) of inbound and outbound Chinese tourism. There have been calls for a new 'paradigm' to analyse the development of Asian (most notably Chinese) tourism, which raise crucial questions as to whether or not 'science,' 'paradigms' and tourism studies can or should be tailored to study mass tourism because of its increased importance in East Asia.
