China has become a major tourist destination, especially since its opening to the world in the late 1970s. In 1978, China received about 230,000 international foreign tourists; in 2007, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, China received 54.7 million international visitors, after France (81.9 M), Spain (59.2 M) and the USA (56.0 M).
