They are facing a lot of threats. 越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣，这是近年来的新趋势。年轻游客数量和不断增加，可以归于他们迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。随着旅行多了，年轻人在大城市和著名景点花的时间少了，他们反而更为偏远的地方所吸引，有些人甚至选择长途背包旅行。最近调查显示，很多年轻人想要通过旅行体验不同的文化，丰富知识，拓宽视野。 More and more Chinese young people are?becoming interested?in travelling, which is a new trend in recent years.
