  Analysis and forecast of China's tourism development from 2015 to 2016(green paper on tourism) released in Beijing. In 2015, the number of Chinese tourists entering the country rose 4 percent year-on-year, the first rebound in three years, the report said. Experts said the "Toilet Revolution" , which is now widely underway in scenic spots across the country, was to blame. In 2015,120 million Chinese traveled abroad, the report said. However, China's inbound tourism market is relatively depressed. Since 2012, the number of inbound tourists in China has dropped continuously, with a drop of 2.5% , 2.2% and 0.45% respectively in the past three years. In response, relevant departments have accelerated the facilitation of inbound tourism, including gradually improving the 72-hour transit visa-free policy for foreigners. In 2015, China saw a 4 percent year on year increase in inbound tourism, with more than 100 million visitors, the first rebound in three years, according to the China National Tourism Administration. The top three foreign visitors were South Korea, Japan and the United States. To explore the reasons for the upturn in inbound tourism, China's "toilet revolution" and other measures to arouse concern. The report points out that due to factors such as historical and economic development conditions, China's tourism public facilities are not yet perfect, toilets are few and sanitation is poor, the market operation is not standard, and cheating tourists and forcing tourists to buy things happen from time to time, the non-standard management of scenic spot ticket price and the frequent occurrence of tourists'uncivilized behavior have seriously restricted the development of China's inbound tourism. In recent years, China's tourism authorities have taken a series of measures that have attracted the attention of the international community. For example, the 2015 national tourism work conference called for a "toilet revolution. ". During the 2016 national two sessions, Li Jinzao, director of the China National Tourism Administration, again stressed the importance of the "toilet revolution" . He said that although the toilet is small, but related to every citizen tourists, domestic and international tourists are currently the biggest response to the toilet problem. The shortage of toilet supply and the improvement of toilet quality are the shortcomings in the development of tourism in China. Li Jinzao said that 25,000 tourist toilets will be built, renovated and expanded nationwide in 2016. Not only in the scenic area, but also outside the scenic area, in the city, in the countryside, to popularize the whole country. The matter has attracted wide attention in the international media. "I am shocked by the achievements of China's toilet revolution, " said a reporter from Italy today in a 2015 report. "It is incredible to see a toilet with wireless Internet access in the Gobi desert of Gansu Province. " The event is co sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the social sciences press.
