聯(lián)合國下屬機(jī)構(gòu)世界旅游組織(World Tourism Organization)公 布的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，中國游客對全球旅游業(yè)的貢獻(xiàn)最大。中國人去年花 在出境游上的支出膨脹至1020億美元，同2011年相比增長了 40%。 聯(lián)合國世界旅游組織在其網(wǎng)站上發(fā)布的一份聲明中說，這一增幅令 中國迅速超越德國和美國。后兩者在之前是出境游支出最高的兩個(gè) 國家。2012年德美兩國出境旅游支出均同比增長6%,約840億美元。

　　The figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organiza¬tion show that Chinese travelers are making the most contributions to the global tourism industry. Chinese travelers spent a record $102 billion on outbound tourism last year, a 40% rise from 2011. That surge sent China screaming past Germany and the U.S. — the former No. 1 and No. 2 spenders, respectively 一 which both saw tourist outlays increase 6% year- on-year to around $84 billion in 2012, the UNWTO said in a statement on its website.
