Introduction:

The Yearbook of China Tourism Statistics for 2007 is a yearly review with information on the overall development of the tourism industry in the People’s Republic of China in 2006. Written in English and Chinese, the information in this Yearbook covers eight aspects: Statistics Report on China’s Tourism Industry in 2006 and visitor arrivals to China, major profile of international visitors to China, international tourism receipts, domestic tourism, business of different regions, business of star-rated hotels, business of travel agencies, travel enterprise and non-business institutions.

A note to the Index of Major Statistic Terms is attached at the end of the Yearbook, which gives a brief explanation of the meaning of main tourism statistics, scope and method of data-collecting.

The data of the Yearbook come from the tourism departments, statistical departments, and ports of entry and exit of public security departments throughout the country. The statistics of Taiwan Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region are not included. All the data are processed and compiled in line with the requirements set forth in the tourism statistics reporting system jointly formulated by the National Tourism Administration and the state statistics Bureau, and explanatory notes are provided in some special cases.

Re-check and re-adjustments have been made to the figures of each month in 2006, and if some inconsistency is found between the published figures and the figures in this yearbook, the latter should be taken as authentic.
