"In the past few years, the mix of tourists in key Asia Pacific destination has changed significantly reflecting the economic rise of China and other emerging Asian economies." said Matthew Driver, executive vice president of Global Products And Solutions for Asia Pacific for MasterCard.
万事达亚太区全球产品及解决方案总监马修·德赖弗说：“过去几年，亚太目的地的游客来源地发生了显著变化，主要反映出中国大陆和其他新兴亚洲经济体的崛起。”
"While we are expecting similar growth from India and Indonesia in the longer term, Chinese tourists are more concentrated in Asia and impact markets at a larger scale," Driver said.
德赖弗表示：“尽管长期来看，我们预计印度和印尼等市场也会经历类似的增长，但中国大陆的游客相对更集于亚洲旅游目的地，因此对本地区市场有更大的影响力。”
"This growth is very positive for the Asia Pacific tourism industry and there remains a huge opportunity for industry players to tap into it and benefit from it. Like any other important market, players can gain advantage if they identify the relevant segments of the market for their business, understand their unique needs and then design products and services." he added.
“中国市场的这种增长对于亚太区旅游产业有非常积极的作用，也提供了巨大的发展机会。像其他市场一样，只要旅游业者可以挖掘细分市场的业务，了解游客的独特需求，然后设计产品和服务，就可以获得优势，”德赖弗补充道。
