    • China Outbound Tourism Research Institute
    The China Outbound Tourism Research Institute (COTRI) is helping clients to forge profitable relations with Chinese customers, as well as fostering the growth of Chinese outbound tourism.

    The COTRI Process

    The Chinese visitor is very different to the traditional recreational holiday maker from markets such as Europe and the USA. Reasons for travel in China are complex and sophisticated, and trips are very much today’s status symbol in China. There are many different kinds of travellers with many different levels of experience and expectations for many different reasons. Understanding Chinese customers from package-tour first timers to “Second Wave” sophisticated self-organised travellers and responding to their demands, communicating readiness, and offering the right kind of services to the right kind of market segment, is key to success in this market.

    The ‘China Welcome Training’ programme, certified by COTRI and delivered by Centre for Competitiveness, is a bespoke programme that will provide your business with the tools to both attract and appropriately ‘Welcome’ Chinese visitors.
