Nearly six million Chinese people, possibly the highest number on record, are expected to spend the seven-day Spring Festival holiday overseas, according to online travel service Ctrip which released it tourism outlook for the period. The report said that China will be a major destination in 2018 with more than 10 million tourists visiting during this period, up from about 7 million last year. The report said more than 60 per cent of Chinese tourists would spend the holiday overseas. The farthest destination is the Antarctic but Ctrip says that eight of the ten most popular destinations are in Asia, including Thailand, Japan and South Korea, many of which share a similar Spring Festival culture with China.
