About A$360 million (USD259 million) is pumped into the Gold Coast economy by Chinese travellers each year.

Gold Coast Airport and leading Chinese travel services company Ctrip have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will see Ctrip open its first Australian store at the main air gateway to the Gold Coast early next year.

The agreement was supported by the Queensland Government. Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones said that tapping into the huge Chinese market was part of the government’s strategy to build tourism on the Gold Coast.

More than 300,000 Chinese tourists visit the Gold Coast every year and China has become the number one international visitor market for Australia and Queensland – both in terms of numbers and spending per visitor.
