China could be the number 1 tourism deficit country. Too many Chinese went abroad in recent years. And some PDF members said China is a closed society.

SL's airports are closed. How come there are tourists? Maybe domestic tourists because covid is under control within the country?

Map of India is incorrect. Just pointing that out. I know it's due to editing at source, but it should be pointed out.

Yes it’s not a huge amount. India has benefited from tourism far longer than China has. China only really opened up from the early 0 years.

It's complicated I mean the exact numbers because they consider Hong Kong and Macau as different countries and count them as tourists. Also, HK, Macau is now China which basically makes the tourist revenue around $120 B

We're still a deficit country for tourism. We spend almost as much as India overseas.

Singaporeans love to go to Malaysia since they just next door lol.

Gross gaming revenue makes up around half of Macau's GDP. What do you think lol.

The past several years have also witnessed a shift in Macau's economic structure toward a gaming industry-dominated economy. In 1999, Macau's four pillar sectors were manufacturing, construction and real estate, financial services, and gaming. In 2013, however, the gaming industry peaked at over 60% of GDP. Although Macau's gaming industry entered a period of decline thereafter, its share of GDP was still as high as 47% in 2016. That same year, Macau's gross gaming revenue was roughly seven times as high as that of Las Vegas. At present, Macau not only holds a legal monopoly on China's casino gaming, but also maintains global preeminence as the world's largest gaming center.
