Mainland China travel itch to be felt worldwide soon

Chen Feng, chairman of Hainan-based airlines and logistics conglomerate HNA Group.

The staggering number of middle-class mainlanders forecast to soon catch the travel bug is forcing Beijing to expand its infrastructure, but the rest of the world seems unprepared for the numbers that will disembark.

"Chinese tourism development is still in the early stages. China will become a big economic and cultural power and will change the pattern of the global travel and tourism industry. It will have a huge impact on this industry," said Chen Feng, the chairman of Hainan-based airlines and logistics conglomerate HNA Group.
