The country's fast-developing tourism industry is expected to boost the hotel sector, a senior official has said.About 200,000 new hotels, resorts and guesthouses are likely to be built by 2015, head of China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) Shao Qiwei said on Thursday.Addressing a seminar on domestic and international hotels' groups, he said the new structures will include about 10,000 star-rated hotels. The number of five-star hotels in the country is expected to rise from 361 to 500."The World Tourism Organization has forecast that China will grow into a huge tourism market, and have 100 million each of inbound and outbound visitors and 2.8 billion domestic tourists by 2015," he said.The booming tourism market has created the need for new hotels and other infrastructure facilities, he said.The Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts plan to open five new facilities in the country this year, and at least 13 more in big cities such Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an in the near future, the general manager of Traders Hotel at China World Trade Center in Beijing, Xin Tao, said.In fact, the group plans to open at least 40 new hotels in the country by 2011."The Olympic Games has brought us unlimited business opportunities and the increase of leisure, as well as business, travel in China will add to the appeal of hotel operators," she said.Investment from home and abroad into hotels will hit 340 billion yuan (.14 billion) between 2006 and 2010, the CNTA has forecast.The hotel sector was one of the first to be opened up in China, with Jianguo Hotel in Beijing being the first foreign-invested hotel to be approved by the State Council in 1979.Since then, 67 hotel brands of 41 international groups have entered the country and are managing 516 hotels at present, according to CNTA statistics.The hotel business has been expanding over the past three decades, and by the end of last year there were more than 14,000 star-rated hotels, 100 times more than in 1978.

Hong Kong is the destination of choice for most mainland travelers this Christmas, a survey has found.A child walks past a Christmas decoration at the Two IFC shopping mall in Hong Kong November 28, 2007. [Agencies]Forty-four percent of the 2,000 people polled, all of whom have an annual income of more than 60,000 yuan (,000), said they were planning to visit the region over the festive period.Other popular destinations included Shanghai (10 percent), Sanya in Hainan Province (9 percent), Lijiang in Yunnan Province, Bali in Indonesia, Phuket in Thailand and Harbin in Heilongjiang Province.Conducted by the online travel firm ctrip.com, the survey found people were most interested in places with a "strong holiday atmosphere", "good shopping environment" and "excellent hotels and beaches" when choosing a destination for their Christmas getaway.Tang Yibo, director of Ctrip.com's holiday department, said: "Embodying both Eastern and Western cultures, Hong Kong stands out because it has not only a vibrant Christmas atmosphere, but also offers lots of shopping and entertainment facilities, and big discounts at this time of year."The convenience of traveling between the mainland and Hong Kong is also an important factor, Tang said.Lin Nan, a teacher from Shanghai, who sets off on a three-day trip to Hong Kong this weekend, said: "The pre-Christmas discounts in Hong Kong are irresistible, even when you consider what you have to pay to fly there."Lin Kang, deputy general manager of the outbound tourism department of the China International Travel Service Head Office, said tour packages to Hong Kong are always bestsellers at Christmas.He said the reason was that Chinese do not have much time off work at Christmas and the New Year so they cannot travel too far."When it comes to the weeklong Spring Festival holiday, destinations like Europe will be more popular," he said.Packages for the Spring Festival are now available, he said, with some of them to Australia and New Zealand already sold out.Some travel experts have said the high volume of holiday bookings for this year's Spring Festival is due to the cancellation of the May Day holiday.But Lin disagreed, saying it is still too early to judge the impact of the changes to the national holiday schedule. Outbound tours during the Spring Festival holiday are always easy to sell, he said.The cost of tour packages during the spring holiday will, as usual, be at least 20 percent higher than at other times of the year, he said.Zhang Wei, director of the air ticket department of Ctrip.com, said the cost of air travel to Europe, Australia and North America over the Christmas and New Year holidays has also soared.He said the cheapest one-way ticket from Beijing to London is now 3,320 yuan, up from 2,200 yuan at the start of the year.Zhang said the price hikes are due to the high numbers of foreigners flying home for the festive season, and also the increased popularity of group trips offered as staff incentives by some Chinese firms.

DAVOS - China will endeavor to maintain steady and fairly fast economic growth and deepen the reform of the economic system, Chinese Vice-Premier Zeng Peiyan said here Thursday."To prevent overheating of the economy and inflation is our top priority for macro control this year. We will pursue a prudent fiscal policy and tight monetary policy to ensure general balance between demand and supply and make the economy better structured," said Zeng at a session of the five-day World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting.At the session of "special message and conversation" in his honor, Zeng said China will work on transforming the model of growth."In promoting economic growth, the focus of our efforts will be shifted from relying mainly on investment and export to stimulating consumption and steadily increasing the consumption rate; from relying mainly on manufacturing industry to promoting the growth of agriculture and services industries and increasing the share of the service sector in economic output," he said.Zeng said China will deepen economic structural reforms, encourage sectors of different ownership to compete as equals and develop together.He also made it clear that China seeks promotion of sustainable development.China has launched a campaign of energy conservation and emission reduction to meet the targets set for 2010 including a 10- percent reduction in the 2005 levels of (sulfur dioxide) SO2 emission and chemical oxygen demand (COD), he said."We are accelerating the pace to eliminate the backward production styles of factories with high energy consumption and pollutant emission, step up the construction of waster water and sewage processing facilities and vigorously develop energy-saving and land-saving housing, and fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly automobiles," he added.The air conditioning of buildings will be kept at an appropriate level, and energy-saving bulbs will be used throughout the country, he said.In his speech, Zeng noted that the world today needs to address many problems facing the growth of the world economy.These problems include greater uncertainties for global economic growth, the rising prices of primary products, resurfacing of trade protectionism, and growing concerns over global climate change, he said."The plummeting of stock markets throughout the world in the past few days speak eloquently of how much the market is worried about a possible slowdown or even recession of the US economy," he said.Financial risks spread faster than before, and one single financial and economic event in a country could cause chain reactions in other parts of the world, he said.The sub-prime mortgage crisis which broke out in the United States has hurt many transnational financial institutions and its adverse impact on countries concerned has start to be felt, he elaborated.He expressed his concerns that the prices of primary products are still rising and have raised production cost and consumer spending and led to more inflationary pressure in the world.Turning to trade protectionism, the Chinese vice-premier said that some countries have raised non-tariff trade barriers and imposed more restrictions on foreign investment.Such practices hurt the interests of exporters, producers, investors, importers and consumers alike and will ultimately harm the common interests of all countries, he said.He promised that China are ready to work with the international community to address these risks and meet the challenges and contribute to economic stability and sustainable development in the world.He noted that since joining the World Trade Organization, China has honored its commitments.China's average tariff level has dropped from 15.3 percent of the pre-accession years to the current 9.8 percent, and China has abolished non-tariff measures, he said."We will continue to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation," he said.While stressing that peace, development and cooperation represent the irresistible trend of the times, Zeng said China will pursue win-win cooperation with foreign nations and accommodate the legitimate concerns of other countries, especially the developing ones."We will work with all countries, international organizations and people from all walks of life to harness the power of collaborative innovation, pursue win-win cooperation, seize the opportunities together and share the benefits of development, meet challenges and work hard for global prosperity and progress," said the Chinese official.The five-day WEF annual meeting started in this Swiss ski resort on Wednesday under the principal theme of "the Power of Collaborative Innovation."The event drew the world's political and business elite, including 27 heads of state or government, and more than 110 government ministers.

Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang said on Wednesday that China is fertile ground for an online advertising exchange akin to the one the US Internet titan is buying. The comment was among insights Yang shared with more than 1,000 Chinese and US technology entrepreneurs gathered in the California city of Santa Clara to discuss opportunities and challenges presented by the meteoric growth of China's economy. US Internet giant Yahoo co-founder Jerry Yang during a presentation in a Tokyo hotel, March 2006. Yang said on Wednesday that China is fertile ground for an online advertising exchange akin to the one the US Internet titan is buying.[AFP] "I'm going to call Jack Ma up with this idea of an exchange for advertisers and ad buyers," Yang said, referring to the chairman of Chinese Internet company Alibaba.com. "The potential is huge." In August 2005, Yahoo invested one billion dollars for a 40 percent stake in Alibaba, which also agreed to run the Chinese operations of the US Internet giant. Yang said that as it neared its second anniversary, the Yahoo-Alibaba partnership has "some catching up to do" in the online search and portal business in China but that he expected a turnaround in a few years. "On the whole, we feel our move to partner with Alibaba so far looks like it's the right strategy," Yang said. "It is too early to tell whether we are successful or not." "The best strategy still seems to be Chinese and US companies sharing best practices ¡ª we all benefit." Yahoo is buying New York City-based online advertising exchange Right Media in a move to counter Google's move to acquire the DoubleClick Internet ad-targeting firm. The California online search titan, which owns 20 percent of Right Media, said it will acquire the remaining 80 percent of the company for 680 million dollars (500 million euros) in stock and cash. The ad exchange serves as a place where advertisers can easily "hook-up" with websites or online services that cater to desired customer demographics. While announcing on April 13 that it was buying New York-based DoubleClick for 3.1 billion dollars, Google revealed plans for the Internet ad tracking and targeting firm to create an open exchange similar to Right Media.
