--FILE--Tourists look at information at the entrance of the Three Gorges Tribe scenic spot in Yichang, central Chinas Hubei province, 26 July 2013. A new generation of Chinese tourists is fueling robust growth for the countrys tourism market, but the opportunities may be mainly for the budget airlines and hotel chains, consulting firm Mintel said. Strong recent growth in Chinas domestic tourism market has driven the rapid emergence of large scale budget hotel chains, said Matthew Crabbe, research director of the companys Asia-Pacific region. More than 60 percent of the 2, 773 Internet users aged between 20 and 49 who booked a hotel in 2013 interviewed by the company considered hotels as a place to a sleep only while traveling, and all they wanted was a sound sleep and a clean and safe room. And 58 percent of the interviewees said they would stay at one hotel for no more than five days, which Crabbe said is a result of a tight budget.
