The number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad is expected to exceed 100 million this year.

Although their total spending abroad was the highest in the world in 2012 at US$102 billion, their spending per capita was far lower than that spent by Western tourists, but it still suggests the Chinese tourism industry has plenty of potential.
