Despite China slowdown, Asia-Pacific tourism to remain strong in 2016

Dominating the economic narrative at the start of this year has been China’s slowdown. Chinese manufacturing and
exports continue to perform badly, and GDP growth in 2015 was probably closer to 5% than the much-doubted
official rate of 6.8%. However, even within this gloom, Asia-Pacific delivered the most striking tourism numbers in
2015, and will likely continue to see some of the most dynamic changes in 2016 according to EyeforTravel’s Full
Year Round-Up and Forecast 2016 report.
