联合国世界旅游组织(UNWTO)上周一发布的一份报告称,中国“继续引领全球出境旅游”。
China "continues to lead global outbound travel," according to a report published by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) last Monday.
《UNWTO旅游亮点2018年版》报告指出,2017年,中国游客在国际旅游上花费了2580亿美元,几乎占全球旅游总支出的1/5。
The report, "The UNWTO Tourism Highlights 2018 Edition", notes that Chinese tourists spent $258 billion on international tourism in 2017, almost one-fifth of the world's total tourism spending.
报告显示,2017年,国际游客总数达到13.2亿人次,增长7%,为2010年以来的最大增幅。
According to the report, overall international tourist arrivals grew by 7% to 1.32 billion in 2017, the largest rise since 2010.
游客数量的增长与由旅游业创造的出口的强劲增长相呼应,2017年旅游业出口达到1.6万亿美元。
The growth in arrivals was echoed by a strong increase in exports generated by tourism, which reached 1.6 trillion U.S. dollars in 2017.
联合国世界旅游组织将2017年的这一结果解释为“受到全球所有地区对旅游目的地持续需求的驱动,包括近年来遭受安全挑战的国家的强劲复苏。”
The UNWTO explained that the 2017 results were "driven by sustained travel demand for destinations across all world regions, including a firm recovery by those that have suffered from security challenges in recent years."
法国依然是最受欢迎的旅游目的地,西班牙升至第二位,而在连续六年保持两位数的增长后,日本的旅游收入进入了前十行列。
France remained the most popular tourist destination, with Spain moving into second place, while Japan moved into the top ten earners from tourism "after six straight years of double-digit growth."
2018年初的现有数据证实了国际旅游业的持续强劲增长态势,在1月至4月间,国际游客抵达人数同比增长了6%。
Available data for early 2018 has confirmed international tourism continues to grow this year with a 6% year-on-year increase for the first four months of the year.
