A fast-emerging middle class with money to spend, improving transport links, diminishing visa restrictions and favorable official policies, all these factors lead to a boom in domestic and outbound Chinese tourism. The tourism sector in China is expected to expand by 6 percent a year between 2010 and 2020, the fastest rate in the world, which has attracted companies from abroad to open resorts in China. Meanwhile, a large share of China’s tourist spending is already flowing beyond its borders. Mainland Chinese made 47 million trips overseas in 2009. In the next decade, the government expects 100 million people to tour abroad, and China will become the world’s biggest outbound tourism market. Model 10

The names of Chinese people have their own tradition and characteristics. Unlike westerners, the family name in China is put first, followed by the given name. The given name usually contains one or two Chinese characters. Chinese names convey special meaning, with the given names often expressing the best of wishes on the new-born. Some imply the birthplace, birth time or natural phenomenon, like Chen(morning), Dong(winter);Some embody the hope of virtue, like Zhong(faithful) while others express the wishes of life, like Jian(health). Together 3,500 family names are commonly used nowadays in China and the most popular three are Li, Wang and Zhang. All Chinese people have equal rights to use their own names, which are legally protected.
