2,3 million Chinese travelers will visit the U.S.
(+25% from 2014) and will spend more than
$15 billion during their trips. 30% of them are
Free and Independent Travelers (FIT’s) and will
carefully choose by themselves great hotels and
resorts in the U.S., without the help of a Chinese
travel agency.
Luxury Hotels of America is the leading magazine
written in Chinese exclusively about America’s
most beautiful hotels and resorts.
Through our advertisement and sponsored
