In cooperation with NBTC Holland Marketing, the LeidenAsiaCentre will organize a seminar on tourism from China on June 9th.
In recent years, inbound tourism from China has witnessed a steady and rapid increase. China is now one of the 10 largest origin markets for inbound tourism in the Netherlands, and is expected to climb to the top 5 in 2025. The LeidenAsiaCentre intends to identify the opportunities the Chinese travel market can offer. By bringing together knowledge, information and experience from business, governments and research institutes, this seminar aims to encourage and optimally benefit from the inbound tourism from China.
In the morning three speakers will give speeches on a variety of subjects concerning the Chinese travel market, while the afternoon will be occupied by four parallel interactive sessions, of which the attendees can attend two. You can indicate your preference for the two sessions upon registration.
