While Chinese tourists have won a bad reputation abroad for being noisy, not queuing properly and spitting on the ground, there's no denying that many countries are trying to woo them, eager for the money they spend. Countries have loosened visa rules Nike Air Huarache Utility , adapted menus and offered services in Chinese to be more accessible and friendly. China sends more tourists abroad than any other nation, but on the other hand, the ancient civilization has seen decline in visitors. Strict visa controls, choking smog and the appreciation of the Renminbi have all been cited as deterrents.


On October 28, Tunisia announced that Chinese tourists traveling as a group will not need to apply for a visa to the country as long as they each hold valid passports and hotel reservation forms.


Three days later, a ceremony launching a new joint Ireland-UK visa scheme was held in Beijing, which will allow Chinese tourists to visit both countries with only a single visa.


These programs make up just a small part of the efforts that countries eager for Chinese visitors have made to attract visitors from China. These countries have all recognized the economic benefits that millions of Chinese tourists can bring.


The rise of the middle class in Asian countries is the largest factor contributing to global tourism growth Nike Air Huarache Pink , according to David Scowsill, CEO and president of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC).

"Once you have enough disposable income to buy your refrigerator and your car, then you start to travel domestically and, ultimately, you start to travel internationally," Scowsill told the Global Times.


According to statistics released by the China Tourism Academy (CTA) under the China National Tourism Administration Nike Air Huarache Grey , the number of outbound trips from the Chinese mainland totaled 98.19 million last year, up by 18 percent since 2012. Chinese tourists spent $128.7 billion abroad in 2013.


Since 2012, China's spending on international travel has surpassed that of Germany and the US, meaning that the country's tourists spent, in total, the most on vacations of any country in the world.


But on the other hand, the number of tourists visiting China has declined Nike Air Huarache Red , and the CTA estimated that China's tourism services trade deficit would surpass $100 billion this year, much more than 2009's deficit of $2.3 billion.

Visa relaxation


This year, several countries - including France, Italy and Britain - have further simplified their visa application procedures for Chinese visitors.


Besides upgrading, renovating and expanding 12 visa application centers in China, the UK authorities have also made applying for a visa easier. A new visa website was launched in early July with guidance in simplified Chinese and all fees displayed in Renminbi.


In an e-mail interview with the Global Times, Dominique Hardy Nike Air Huarache Triple White , regional manager of China and North Korea for the UK visas and immigration service, said that the UK also requires fewer supporting documents than some other European countries and now accepts photocopies of key documents.


"We've provided more translated guidance. We've produced short videos available on Youku to explain the processes. And we also now offer more customer service options, including a free e-mail service which offers advice in local languages," Hardy said.


The UK has also expanded its range of visa services, including out-of-hour appointments and the ability to pay to have your application processed more quickly.


According to Hardy, the UK received 291,919 visa applications last year Nike AirHuarache Triple Black , a 39 percent increase since 2012, and 96 percent of applications were successful. And they are seeing further growth this year - driven in part by China.


Apart from loosening visa controls, some countries have adopted other measures to attract Chinese visitors, such as promoting their country on Weibo, erecting road signs in Chinese and offering more Union Pay card readers in stores.


According to media reports, some countries, like Russia and the United Arab Emirates Nike AirHuarache White , are adapting their hotels to be more friendly to Chinese tourists by changing menus to suit the Chinese palate and hiring staff who can speak Chinese.


The Paris Police's website is navigable in Chinese. In early May, France's interior ministry said that they planned to invite policemen from China to help patrol Paris in the summer, in an attempt to ease worries over the number of Chinese tourists in the city that have been the victims of theft, although they later abandoned the plan.


Wolfgang Georg Arlt, a professor of tourism management and director of the China Outbound Tourism Research Institute at the West Coast University of Applied Sciences, Germany, thinks that visa-free entry is the best way to attract Chinese visitors.


Currently Nike Air Huarache Black , 81 destinations offer Chinese visitors visa-free access or visas on arrival.


He cited the example of Mauritius, which from October 31 last year provided Chinese tourists with visa-free access to the country for 30 days. In addition, following the opening of direct flight routes between Mauritius and China flying out of Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Shenzhen, a new direct flight route from Chengdu is being planned.


In addition, he said Chinese travelers have their own unique needs and expectations which means that they are attracted to different kinds of attractions than visitors from more traditional tourism markets.


"In Portugal Nike Air Huarache , the Chinese visit not for the beaches, like British or German visitors, but to visit historical sites. This kind of tourism is viable in
