China inbound visitor spending; current US$B, 2024–2025, preliminary.
China recorded US$131.1 billion in inbound visitor expenditure in 2025, compared with US$94.2 billion in 2024. The before-and-after comparison uses two official annual NBS values and the source-reported 39.2% growth rate. Receipts increased by US$36.9 billion, while inbound visits reached 154.5 million in 2025. The figures measure spending associated with inbound visits, not tourism-sector output or spending by unique visitors.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2024 receipts | US$94.2B | 2024 |

Inbound visits are visit events and may include repeat travel by the same person. Expenditure is reported in current US dollars, and both annual communiqué values are preliminary.
Compares the directly published 2024 and 2025 expenditure values, uses the source-reported annual growth rate and divides 2025 expenditure by 2025 visits for the per-visit figure.
Both annual values use consecutive NBS communiqués, the same inbound-visitor expenditure concept, the same mainland scope and the same currency unit.
