    La Organización Mundial de Turismo ha suministrado información acerca de 13 países asiáticos que desde 2010 se perfilan dentro de los 50 países de mayor arribo de turistas. Para el periodo comprendido entre 2005 y 2010, China se ha posicionado como un destino importante dentro de estos flujos. Sólo tres países como Australia, India y Macao cuyo gasto turístico ascendería a USD 1858.2. El siguiente modelo considera dos variables importantes; en primer lugar, el volumen de flujos turísticos que recibe un país, segundo el grado de vulnerabilidad que supone el incremento de esos flujos para el receptor.

    Based on UNWTO data, there are 13 Asian countries listed within the top 50 countries that have registered the highest international tourist arrivals as well as international tourism receipts in 2010.

    For the period between 2005 and 2010, China has been steadily ranked in first place in terms of international tourism arrivals in Asia. From the aspect of international tourism receipts, China is similarly ranked at the first position among 13 Asia and Pacific Region countries. However, China is only ranked at the second to last place for the average tourist consumption by international tourists. According to calculation of prediction data presented in this paper, China needs to increase the average tourist consumption to at least USD 1858.20 to be amongst the highest recipients in Asia. Based on the 2010 database compiled by UNWTO, there are only three countries in Asia and the Pacific region with an average tourist consumption of international tourism above USD 1858.20; these being Australia, India and Macao. The international tourism development strategies of these countries or region are considered and presented critically as a basis for a proposed model of international tourism development in China.
