As for the reasons for greater interest in China, around 41 percent cited improved infrastructure for travelers, and nearly 40 percent said they wanted to personally see how developed China had become. Around eleven percent said their interest grew because of China’s enhanced image after the Olympics. Nearly six percent of the surveyed said they wanted to see the grand stadiums that were unveiled during the world sporting event.
