The CEO noted that measures to attract Chinese tourists include "a wider range of entertainment options, improved hospitality, increased beach capacity and improvements to airport infrastructure." "We plan to expand existing airports with the expectation of serving approximately 120 million passengers over the next decade, and we believe a significant part of this increase will come from China," Griffiths said.
