With the global travel and tourism industry still in a slow recovery from recession, the Chinese market is the only bright spot: The number of passengers carried by commercial airlines in 2010 reached about 267 million, an increase of 15.8%, making China the second largest air travel market in the world following the United States. In 2010, the number of Chinese outbound travelers reached 57.39 million, an increase of 20.4%. Notably, the business travel sector has become a significant contributor to the market’s growth. According to the "2010 China Business Travel Survey Report" released by American Express Business Travel, the business travel spending in mainland China in 2010 grew by 17%, the fastest growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

With rapid economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region, the airline and hotel industries in this market are expected to rebound very quickly, benefiting from increasing demand in the business travel sector. Looking to the future, China is expected to become the world's largest destination for business travel within the next decade.

For many international airlines, hotel chains and travel management companies, China has become a crucial part of their global expansion strategy. Meanwhile, innovative technologies, applications and business models are constantly impacting the travel experience and the process of business travel management. In such a rapidly changing business environment, how travel suppliers, travel management companies and corporate customers embrace technology innovation, in order to control travel spending while enhancing the overall travel experience, will be the main theme of the China Business Travel Summit.

Endorsed by the Haier Group and ZTE, China Business Travel Summit will be co-organized by TravelDaily and China Air Service, taking place at Beijing Gehua New Century Hotel on July 14, 2011.
