The Chinese have continued their torrid pace of travel in 2016 maintaining their status as the world’s biggest travelers. According to the travel agency Ctrip, Chinese tourists show no signs of slowing down, so where are they going? Thailand recorded the most visa applications in the first half of the year. Singapore and South Korea ranked second and third respectively, while visa applications to Pakistan surged by 37 times, the most, thanks to friendly ties between the two countries.
Ctrip data also showed that the number of visitors applying for multiple entry rose substantially, implying a trend of more frequent overseas travels by Chinese. Multiple visa applications to Malaysia doubled from the same period last year, and those to South Korea soared 76 percent.
