China has been identifying the country’s Top 20 Tourist Groups annually since 2009. The top performers of the tourism industry have been reporting total turnover exceeding 10 billion yuan and GMV of trillions of yuan since 2016. Since then, the GMV of the top 20 tourism groups has been staying above the 1.5 trillion yuan level.
