China stands out as the sole Asian country to not only appear in the top
rankings for outbound travel expenditure but also to lead the list.
Despite the travel restrictions imposed during the pandemic, China remains
one of the largest spenders among arrivals in 2022.

world's top 10 spending source markets.
Sri Lanka accounted for around 0.11% of China's outbound travelers in
2019 despite China being one of the largest source market for Sri Lanka.
