China has become one of most watched and hottest outbound tourist markets in the world. Tourism in China has greatly expanded over the last few decades.
Modern tourism in China sprang up in the early 1950s. China International Travel Service was established in 1954, with 14 branches in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing and other major cities. The State Tourism Administration of China was formally established in 1964. The emergence of a newly rich middle class and an easing of restrictions on movement by the Chinese authorities are both fueling this travel boom.

The world is on the cusp of a sustained Chinese outbound tourism boom. The tourism in China has entered a stage of rapid development. In 1999, the number of tourists entering China reached 72.8 million, of which 8.43 million were foreign tourists, 40 times the figure for 1978. China is the world's fourth largest country for inbound tourism. The number of overseas tourists was 55 million in 2007. Foreign exchange income was 41.9 billion U.S. dollars, the world's fifth largest in 2007. The number of domestic tourists totaled 1.61 billion, with a total income of 777.1 billion yuan.
