China’s travelling millenials – A unique event on the James Craig Tall Ship
1.2 million Chinese visitors spent $9.2 billion in Australia in 2016. These numbers are set to double with China’s savvy millenials making up a big proportion of them. Upwardly mobile and adventurous, this generation of travelers actively seeks unique holiday experiences and also buys Australian products and services when they return home. This is creating big opportunities for Australian businesses, not only in tourism but throughout the supply chain and many other sectors as well.
Join us aboard the James Craig and at the National Maritime Museum to learn why sophisticated market insights and cultural understanding are essential to cater to the needs of these globetrotters, and how Australian businesses can benefit from the boom in Chinese tourism.
Why attend?
Enjoy a pre-seminar guided tour of the James Craig tall ship to sample a unique tourism experience, and stay on for post-seminar networking with others successful in this market to learn about the broader opportunities.

- Understanding the needs of Chinese travellers
- Ensuring tourist facilities and related businesses offer a unique experience
- Upskilling tourist providers with the right skill set to attract and increase visitors
