On the cover page of China Daily (European Weekly) 31 Oct to 6 Nov 2014, there showed a serious problem in China tourism market: the smog air pollution (smoke + fog, or smoke-create-fog) which was the main reason forced the foreign travelers turn their back to China tourism market.

        In this article, foreign tourists had created large amount and percent of tourism income for China tourism market. However, the trend was not sustainable, because of the air pollution problem. With the decreased image of China, not only may the foreign tourists come again, but also they will not show a good reflection of China to their families and friends, even show the image on the Internet. These reflections will terribly hurt China tourism market.

        To sum up, China tourism market and China Tourism Association should try to solve the environment problems before the new tourism promotion been show to the global world.
