He predicted China will rake in US$42.6 billion of foreign currency income by 2010, up eight percent year on year, ranking third in the world.

 

The number of domestic travelers will increase by a big margin, with domestic tourism income reaching 881 billion yuan. And 9.8 million people will be direct employees of the tourism industry.
