BEIJING, Nov. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- The latest report on China's inbound tourism issued by the China Tourism Academy offers little relief from the gloom that has settled over the industry in the past two years.

Since the first quarter of 2012 nike shox tilbud , figures that the industry would like to see going up have headed in the opposite direction, says Dai Bin, president of the academy.

"And there is no sign that they will bounce back soon," he says.

Last year the Chinese mainland welcomed a little more than 129 million inbound tourists, a fall of 2.5 percent on the previous year, the report said. The number of overnight inbound tourists was 55.7 million, a fall of 3.5 percent on the previous year.

Among the factors contributing to the falling numbers of inbound tourists are smog, the appreciation of the yuan, a sputtering global economy and increasingly competitive tourism destinations in the East and Southeast Asia Tilbud Herre Dame Nike Air Max 97 Sko Summit White , Dai says.

"The smog has really tarnished Beijing's image, resulting in many potential foreign visitors opting to stay away from this ancient city."

According to the report, 75.5 percent of inbound tourists said they were "basically content" with their stay in China last year, 11.4 percent lower than in the previous year. Some of the respondents said they were unhappy with the environment, including water supply and air quality.

Yang Jinsong, a professor with the China Tourism Academy, who is a specialist in international tourism Billige Herre Nike Air Max 95 KPU Sko Sort , says: "No one wants to be on what is supposed to be a relaxing holiday but then find themselves choking with smog. This persistent pollution, which is particularly bad in the fall and winter, is like having a door shut in your face."

To better promote inbound tourism, Yang says, the country ought to tap its potential in business tourism under the acronym MICE, meaning tourism related to meetings, incentives Herre Nike Shox Avenue Sko Royal Blå Hvid Tilbud , conferences and exhibitions.

The Hilton Sanya Resort and Spa in the island province of Hainan says that 10 percent of its guests are from overseas, many on business trips or attending conferences.

The 29-story hotel, which opened in 1986, has 575 rooms and most of its guests are in Beijing on business or for conferences Danmark Herre Nike Shox Avenue Sko Sort Rød , it says.

The China National Tourism Administration says that in the first nine months of the year, 96.5 million tourists visited the country, 1.48 percent fewer than in the corresponding period last year. Of those visitors, 4.09 million were European, including 1.59 million from Russia, 480,000 from Germany and 441 Tilbud Herre Nike Shox 807 Sko Sort Rød ,700 from the United Kingdom.

Last year, 625,000 tourists arriving from the UK visited China, 1.07 percent higher than in the previous year, while 533,500 came from France, 1.66 percent higher compared with the previous year.

In the first nine months of the year Tilbud Herre Nike Shox 807 Sko Hvid Grå , inbound tourism brought in $37.9 billion in foreign exchange revenue, but Dai says the trade deficit in China's outbound and inbound tourism will exceed $100 billion this year.
