2005國際旅遊交易會近日在昆明召開。國家旅遊局在新聞發布會宣布,我國已成為世界上發展速度最快的旅遊目的地,同時我國也成為世界上迅速崛起的新興客源國。
報導如下:Outbound travel by Chinese citizens started in 1997 with destinations consisting merely of Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines as well as China's Hong Kong and Macao. Only 5.32 million Chinese citizens traveled abroad the same year, the official said.
近年來,「出境遊」在我國十分火熱,英語中我們用outbound travel來表達,outbound的意思是「開往外國的」,那麼「出境旅遊者」就可說成outbound tourist。
再來看個例子:Outbound tours of Chinese citizens on public duty or for commercial affairs has decreased year after year.
這句話的意思就是:近年來中國公民的公務商務出境遊呈逐年下降趨勢。
