Chinese flocking to Australia for luxury and leisure

The shorter flights coupled with a wealth of luxury brands and casinos helped push it ahead of Europe as the top tourist destination.

"Australia has been growing in popularity for a number of reasons. It is under nine hours of flying time, so less than Europe. There are also an abundance of luxury brands, casinos are plentiful and visa procurement for Chinese visitors there is easier," said Paul French, Mintel’s Chief China Market Strategist, in discussing the results of the new Mintel report "Consumer Lifestyles: China's Middle Class - China - June 2012."

"Right now the vast bulk of Chinese tourists arriving in Australia are on group tours -- low cost packages with the bulk of any profits remaining in China with the travel agents, meaning that it's up to tourism service suppliers in Australia to extract the cash," he added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
