Chinese tourists already represent the largest spending nationality in the world, outspending the perennial global leaders from Germany in 2012, dropping a total of US$102 billion on overseas trips compared to just US$84 billion by their German counterparts. According to a recent report by CLSA, the number of outbound Chinese tourists is expected to double and their spending is expected to triple by 2020.
