Summer tourism in China is changing, driven by young travelers prioritizing quality experiences over quantity. Gen Z and college students are seeking meaningful connections and self-discovery, moving away from rushed sightseeing.
"Wellness travel" to cooler regions and "reverse-season" trips to places like New Zealand are trending. Events like concerts and festivals are also attracting tourists.
Young travelers want to participate, with activities like farming and immersive historical experiences gaining popularity. Adventure is key, with VR attractions and space-themed experiences offering thrills.
Tourism is shifting from sightseeing to engagement. The industry must adapt with personalization and quality to meet the evolving needs of young travelers and unlock the "experience economy.

Farm activities? Why would I travel to China to do manual labor? Sounds pointless.

Personalization in tourism seems like a marketing gimmick rather than a real evolution.
