報告顯示 未來五年我國旅遊赤字或將擴大

The number of Chinese people travelling abroad will outnumber foreign tourists by 100 million per year within five years, according to a new report.

一份最新報告指出，未來五年，我國每年出境遊客的數量將超過外國遊客數量1億人次。

The deficit means that China will export more money abroad than foreign tourists bring in.

這意味着我國的出境消費額將大於外國遊客在華的消費額。

The report by the Center for China and Globalization and the online tourism company states that by 2015 Chinese visits abroad already outstripped foreign visits to China by 31 million.

中國與全球化智庫和在線旅遊公司攜程旅行網發佈的這份報告稱，2015年，我國出境遊客數量已經超過入境外國遊客數量3100萬人次。

Last year, China earned 120 billion dollars from inbound travelers, an increase of 5.6% on the year before, according to the 2016 Statistical Communique on National Economy and Social Development.

根據《2016年國民經濟和社會發展統計公報》，2016年我國入境遊客外匯收入爲1200億美元，同比增長5.6%。

However, Chinese spent 261.1 billion dollars when they visited other countries in 2016, figures from the UN World Tourism Organization showed.

而聯合國世界旅遊組織的數據顯示，同年我國遊客的境外支出爲2611億美元。

China remains a major destination for international tourism and business but its economic growth means that it has a rapidly increasing number of citizens who can afford to travel the world.

我國仍是國際旅遊和商務的主要目的地之一，但我國的經濟增長意味着國內負擔得起出境遊的人數正在迅速增長。
