Abstract
This article analyzes the recent growth in travel to China. It also analyzes the develop ment of Chinese travel organizations, including the evolution of a national tourism administration for the country, and examines the effects of changing government policies in decentralizing the management of travel services. The negative effects of decentraliza tion include confusion created by the proliferation of travel organizations, increased dif ficulty in coordinating tourism planning and development for the country as a whole, and emergence of negative social impacts upon Chinese personnel. In the face of declining growth in visitor arrivals, the positive effects of decentralization are not as evident. Thus, the efforts toward rapid tourism development seem to have been accomplished with the trade-off of inadequate planning and negative social impacts.
