For Caroline Paul, founder of Talents Travel and a consultancy strategy specialist in tourism marketing for the Chinese, the travel industry is experiencing what is called "revenge travel". "It's the same for the Chinese," she said, adding that "the return of Chinese tourists is going to be quite significant".
