Why Shenzhen can be ranked second in the World's Top Ten travel cities?

November 26 2018

At the end of October, "Lonely Planet", the international travel guide that was regarded as the “Travel Bible”, published the Top Four best travel destinations in the world in 2019. Shenzhen ranked second in the World's Top Ten travel cities, becoming the only city in China to be among the Top Ten.

Almost at the same time, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) released the latest report, “The Impact of Urban Tourism and Tourism in 2018”, which ranked according to the GDP contributed by the tourism industry. Shenzhen Tourism was shortlisted with a score of US$19 billion. Ranked Tenth in the world's top ten tourist cities.

In Shenzhen's tourism GDP, the proportion of GDP from international tourism is about 35%. This data is 12% to 13% in Shanghai and Beijing.

For these, the person in charge said that business travel has contributed.

Shenzhen has always been an emerging modern city at the forefront of economic development. Frequent business travel activities have helped the rapid development of tourism in the entire city.

As of the end of June 2018, there were 219 enterprises that listed in Fortune's top 500 companies in the world to conduct the deep-investment projects in China. Over 975 projects have been invested over the years, with a total investment of 93.291 billion US dollars and contractual foreign investment of US$200.75 billion, the actual use of foreign capital was 14.29 billion US dollars. Among the Shenzhen headquarters enterprises (139), there are 36 foreign-funded enterprises, accounting for 25%.

Frequent business contacts between enterprises have brought teh huge flow of passengers to Shenzhen.

In addition, the selection criteria for "Lonely Planet" provides us with another way of thinking about the attractiveness of urban tourism - Coordinated Development.

As the only city in China to be ranked in the Top Ten, Shenzhen received a comment: a pioneering metropolis with a free spirit, rich in art, nightlife, musicals, and diverse dining and shopping.

At the beginning of urban planning and construction in Shenzhen, all aspects of public cultural facilities, environmental space, and traffic roads were considered and reached international standards.

Moreover, the development of Guangdong FTZ(Shenzhen Area) also attract more foreigners.
