On September 8, UnionPay International and China Tourism Academy released the Annual Report on China's Outbound Tourism (2016), stating that China's outbound tourism has entered into a period of rational increase and will continue growing steadily in the next five to ten years. The Report notes that UnionPay cards are providing payment support for Chinese people's travel abroad.

Chinese outbound tourists reached 117 million in 2015, growing by 9.8%, which is much lower than the 20% year-on-year growth in previous years. The Report, however, is positive about China's outbound tourism, expecting the tourists to reach 133 million in 2016 with an 11.5% increase.
