隨著生活水平的提高，度假在中國(guó)人生活中的作用越來(lái)越重要。過(guò)去，中國(guó)人的時(shí)間主要花在謀生上，很少有機(jī)會(huì)外出旅行。然而，近年來(lái)中國(guó)旅游業(yè)發(fā)展迅速。經(jīng)濟(jì)的繁榮和富裕中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的出現(xiàn)，引發(fā)了一個(gè)前所未有的旅游熱潮。中國(guó)人不僅在國(guó)內(nèi)旅游，出國(guó)旅游也越來(lái)越普遍。2016年國(guó)慶節(jié)假日期間，旅游消費(fèi)總計(jì)超過(guò)4000億元。據(jù)世界貿(mào)易組織估計(jì)，2020年中國(guó)將成為世界上最大的旅游國(guó)。在未來(lái)幾年里將成為出境旅游支出增長(zhǎng)最快的國(guó)家。

With the improvement of living standards, vacation plays a more important role in the Chinese life. In the past, they had spent most of their time making a living and barely had a chance to travel. However, China’s tourism industry flourishes in recent years. Economic prosperity and the emergence of the affluent middle class leads to an unprecedented tourism boom. Chinese people like to travel both at home and abroad, and overseas trips have become increasingly common among them. During the National Day holiday in 2016, tourism spending totaled more than 400 billion yuan. World Trade Organization estimates that China will become the world’s largest tourist country by 2020, and it will also become one of the fastest-growing countries on outbound tourism spending in the next few years.
