Chinese tourists have been attracting plenty of media attention in recent years. Often, the Chinese tourists are portrayed as either Grasshoppers – huge swarms of tourists descending on traditional destinations and ruining them – or as or Golden Geese creating huge potential earnings for the tourism industry.
