S-E Asia Banks on tourists from China

Click HERE (Sunday Times Feb 26 Front page headlines)

Recall the tourism compre we just did? (2016 Cambridge paper)....writer of compre passage says people travel to escape from the familiar....but he also concedes that there are tourists who stick to the familiar when travelling, esp when it comes to food.....they only want Chinese food eg....when people travel, if the objective is to alleviate stress, then they may want to stick to the familiar because the unfamiliar can cause stress as you need to adjust and even accommodate or tolerate the differences...
probably applies more to older folks, whereas younger travellers prefer the excitement of the unknown and the new?

Chinese tourists are flocking to South-east Asia, attracted by the region's cultural familiarity and myriad of leisure and dining options, giving a major boost to the tourism industry
