I work for a company that receives Chinese delegations in Russia. Usually these are both government-level delegations and ordinary tourist groups.
Having counted 500 Chinese tourists who visited Russia in a week, whom I coordinated, and from whom my phone twitched every minute, I decided that it was time to write an essay about Chinese tourists, especially since I have to work closely with them and often replace the guides themselves. losers and would-be translators.)
1. Mass character
The Chinese go to Russia in large groups. Usually 30-40 people. Managing such a crowd is not easy, as they often disperse and get lost. That year, we searched for the missing Chinese man for several hours on Red Square, eventually finding him near the monument to Marshal Zhukov. I had to ask fifty Chinese people if they were lost :) For convenience, each group usually has its own flag and caps or T-shirts.
2.Guide, as the leader of the group - cunning and merciless
An uncontrolled group of Chinese tourists is usually run by a tour guide, a person who solves all ground handling issues in Russia and serves as a kind of intermediary between the Russians and the Chinese. The profession is difficult and the nature of the guides is usually appropriate. Usually tour guides are famous for knocking their bosses on the shortcomings of reception in Russia: both guides who lead the excursion and drivers with hoteliers fall under the sweep. Rarely do tour leaders like everything. Usually these are cunning Chinese of the nature of small traders, who take profits from shops where tourists are brought in, from guides who supply groups and tickets to entertainment places. Tour guides usually skillfully shift their mistakes to others, not disdaining moral principles.
3. Settling for several people
Usually the Chinese live in groups of several people. Only the big boss is accommodated one at a time, the biggest and most expensive room is always chosen for him.
In an effort to save money, the Chinese can put several extra beds, even when there are no places at all. Recently I organized a reception for business groups in Yekaterinburg at the major industrial exhibition Innoprom. Several important Chinese did not have enough space, they solved the issue by sleeping two by two on the same bed, and nothing, accommodated.
4.Hotels - striving for simplicity.
The requirements for hotels are growing every year.
Hoteliers, in turn, bow to the Chinese, but still cannot provide high-level service.
Usually, the Chinese prefer inexpensive 3-4 * hotels. A big plus is the presence of a Chinese restaurant in the hotel.
The Chinese love to be indignant when there are no kettles or boilers with hot water in the room, since they drink it in large quantities and make noodles in it, which they bring with them to Russia. Special requirements are usually rice for breakfast, chopsticks in restaurants, an air conditioner, slippers and a bathrobe.
5) love of native food
Chinese tourists, while in a foreign land, still prefer Chinese restaurants. Obviously, local restaurants with food that is not Chinese at all. Complaints are often received about the service, lack of sanitary standards and unpalatable food. Chinese restaurants, which receive large flows, really do not have a high quality cooking. Usually lunch and dinner for a Chinese tourist costs about $ 8-10. Waiters and staff usually do not speak Russian, so you need to communicate with them in Chinese. Recently, by the way, the Chinese have suddenly fallen in love with the MUMU cafe. We took them there several times and word of mouth made this café popular. The Chinese like meat, noodles, all kinds of kebabs. They rarely choose sweets and fruits. Alcoholic beverages are usually beer. 
6.Guides are experts in history
Guides for Chinese tourists are another story. Usually, the Chinese prefer to order the services of guides from the PRC to visit Russian attractions.
Russian licensed guides, who are issued by a special association, are, according to the tourists themselves, "not understood" due to the complexity of the spoken Chinese language.
As a rule, the history of Russia in the mouths of Chinese guides is very specific and alternative. So once, a Chinese guide, when asked what kind of monument, where Yuri Dolgoruky was on a horse, answered without blinking: "This is Lenin on a horse." The skyscraper on the Kotelnicheskaya embankment is called Moscow State University, and the Lavra was built by the Chinese.) Students and graduate students from China usually work as guides. The income from such work is very good - from $ 90 a day plus a tip. You can earn up to $ 200 per day.
7. Moscow-Peter-Baikal
Favorite cities for the Chinese to visit are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi. Sometimes Kazan and Novosibirsk are included in the list.
Baikal is especially loved, where the Chinese spend 7-10 days. River cruises from Moscow and St. Petersburg are sometimes popular. Peter attracts with its European style, Moscow is not so interesting, except perhaps the capital. Sochi - Olympic facilities. Of course, Chinese from the North visit the Far East: Khabarovsk and Vladivostok.
8. Lack of interest in Orthodoxy
Despite all the government's thoughts to attract interest in Orthodox churches, the Chinese do not feel this interest. Usually they go to Lavra or Suzdal to look at ancient temples without going into details. 
9.Love shopping.
The Chinese in Russia are avid shopaholics. They usually buy branded items, military clothing, amber (which, according to Chinese beliefs, heals diseases), chocolate and vodka.
Once, when I was working as a guide, we bought army military boots for a big Chinese chief for several hours. All the other small-level bosses just endured in silence, and I also had to suggest which style was better. There are also unpleasant stories when the Chinese buy fake amber, and then sue or buy tiger skins, with which they are wrapped at the border. 
10.Chinese pensioners, cheerful and lively.
A separate chapter is devoted to Chinese pensioners who make up the bulk of groups in Russia.
They are lively and cheerful, they are active and cheerful. They don't get tired.
Recently, a 95-year-old grandfather came to us, I was very worried, no matter how hard it was for him. And the grandfather broke all the stereotypes, standing in line for the hour in the mausoleum to see the leader of the world proletariat.
Another Chinese grandmother fell seriously ill in St. Petersburg, the disease threatened with complete numbness of the body. Everyone was very worried about her health, but the next day my grandmother jumped up and ran to the Hermitage, scattering all the doctors. 
11. Love for military topics
As mentioned above, Russia is shrouded in a haze of militarism in the eyes of Chinese tourists.
In addition to their love for military clothing and attributes, Chinese with higher incomes go to Russia to ride tanks, shoot and taste army food.
The pleasure is not cheap, but apparently the Russian militants played a positive role in shaping the image of Russia.
And still:
chinese tourists, despite their difficult habits, which are not easy to understand, are often very welcoming and sweet. You just need to find an approach to them)
"Smokers" were asked, experts answered
Just before the Chinese New Year on the forum "Smoking room" portal TourDom.ru in the section "Help out" there was a thread of almost 40 posts on how to start making money by receiving tourists from China.
“Maybe someone will tell you how to get out into this vast market, that is, addresses, passwords, senders turnout, smart thoughts, etc.,” asks the initiator of the discussion, a regular at the forum under the nickname Pofigist... "Can I, too - in a personal?" - echoed by the user LION.
The reason for this conversation was the recent news that the flow of guests from the Celestial Empire is breaking all records: in the first 9 months of 2015, 395 thousand people visited Moscow as part of tourist groups, which is more than two times more than in the entire 2014.
The first step is to hire a Chinese
According to preliminary estimates, Chinese travelers spent between $ 800 million and $ 1 billion in the Russian capital. So the active interest of “smokers” in this topic is quite logical. And, most importantly, he is very timely. Now it is still possible to wedge into the sphere of Inking from China. But this business in Russia is being actively developed by Chinese entrepreneurs themselves, who want to earn money by hiring their compatriots. Our businessmen are clearly worried about the growing competition. Soon, the direction will be clearly divided and difficult to access for debutants.
So, back to the forum users' question: How do I get started? From behind-the-scenes conversations with experienced direction experts, we can give some tips. So - in large strokes, without a claim to be fundamental.
Let's start with the fact that comrades LION and Pofigist have different profiles. The first, obviously, represents a travel agency, i.e. wants to make money at the reception. The second one is interested in loading with the Chinese "a 3 * hotel in a picturesque place of the Moscow region, 10 minutes drive from the Moscow Ring Road and 1 5 * hotel in the center, both with congress facilities and experience in receiving groups, visa support and sane staff."
Nevertheless, experts give them one piece of advice for two: as an option, hire an employee with knowledge of the language, best of all - a Chinese (for example, a student of some Moscow university). To begin with, he should draw up a commercial proposal under your guidance and send it out to a wide range of Chinese sending tour operators. And then let him ring them up - study demand, establish contacts. Over time, this will result in the first orders. The next task for an employee is to create a website in Chinese.
And, of course, it makes sense to go with him to profile stands at Russian tourism exhibitions, and ideally to go to forums in Beijing, Shanghai, but this already depends on the budget.
Another recommendation for the prospective tour operator and hotelier: you need to get acquainted with "A world without borders"... De jure, it is an association that promotes the development of Chinese tourist flow to Russia. But there is a feeling that its powers are broader than those of public organizations. In particular, she takes part in resolving issues with visas, somehow participates in the approval of the list of travel agencies that have the right to issue such invitations to groups for which a simplified visa procedure applies. Over time, any "new" operator is desirable to become one of them.
The hotelier's communication with the "World without Borders", too, under certain conditions can advance towards the goal, ie, to receive orders. By the way, it is this organization that promotes the China Friendly project - a system of voluntary certification, mainly hotels go through it.
Narrow places
Now - information separately for LION (personal message to Pofigist hotelier will be below).
It will take time to be among the companies authorized to provide visa support to Chinese group tourists. Perhaps more than one year. Therefore, at first, the newcomers find a tour operator, already included in this list of favorites, and act through it. The service costs about $ 10 for a "last name".
We will not even touch on the product topic, because it is immense. How and what to stand out against the background of numerous tour operators offering tours in Russia for Chinese guests? .. Everyone decides for himself.
We will only note a number of difficulties that we will definitely face.
If you find a large supplier of clientele from China, he will demand that you credit him. Payment in a month and a half after arrival is a normal practice for companies of this format. And these are, of course, risks. And significant circulating assets will be required, with which most market participants are now under pressure.
As for small Chinese firms, you can be sure they will soon try to open their own reception in Russia. They will work out a season or two, then they will send their emissaries to Moscow and St. Petersburg to negotiate directly with hotels, transport companies, etc.
Further. Lack of guides with knowledge of the Chinese language. All of them - literally in every way, in Moscow there are 96 such specialists, in St. Petersburg - about 400. They charge $ 100-150 per working day. Customers always want to reduce this cost item, to attract the same Chinese students to serve the groups, who can be paid half as much. But this, as you understand, is illegal, you have to somehow get out at the objects of the show ... For example, in St. Petersburg, groups with illegal guides are clearly caught in any museum, local Sinologists are a united people, they defend their interests with the whole world. In Moscow, somewhere they can turn a blind eye. But the topic is still painful. We do not want to let foreigners into these jobs, we do not have enough of our own, and so far it is a clinch. In general, a separate topic.
Personally I don't care
Let's add a few words - for a hotelier who wants to host Chinese guests.
First of all, of course, you will want to contact local tour operators of this profile, potential clientele suppliers. Among the most famous are, of course, such incoking specialists as, "Tari Tour"... There are also companies that historically send Russians to China and, accordingly, have a good return flow of customers - among them, for example, "Express Line"... Also known in this area "Kalina Travel", "Tumlar" other. But, perhaps, not such venerable partners are more suitable for you, but also beginners - in general, look and find.
Now, very briefly about how to create a more or less comfortable environment for Chinese clients in a Russian hotel. A Chinese speaking staff member is required at the front desk. Hotel navigation system in Chinese. ATMs and terminals with a Chinese interface to use cards issued respectively in China and supported by the payment system of that country.
Further - necessarily free wi-fi. Access to hot drinking water: a cooler in the lobby, kettles in the rooms, you can't go without them. Regardless of the level of the hotel, slippers will be needed in the rooms, in China they are everywhere. Well, sockets with Chinese connectors are also very desirable, customers need to charge their devices.
A separate topic is nutrition. Chinese food should be offered for breakfast, otherwise guests will definitely remain dissatisfied with the service, which will be written about in the reviews on the relevant resources.
Groups should be accommodated as compactly as possible, on the same floor. Having arrived in a country with a completely different culture, they prefer to stick together, especially since they feel the language barrier acutely. And one more thing: numerology is important for them, get acquainted with the basics of this eastern wisdom, this will simplify life for everyone. Well, the simplest things: for example, the number 4 for the natives of the Celestial Empire means "death", symbolized by the same hieroglyph. Accordingly, you cannot place them on the fourth floor, in the fourth room, etc.
That's all for now.
But we will definitely continue the Chinese theme. In the next publication - a verbal portrait of a Chinese tourist. It will be useful to everyone who, in one way or another, is determined to make money in this area.
PS: By the way, with the Year of the red fire monkey, dear Pofigist, LION and other readers!

When you think of travelers from China, do you imagine a large group of people on a tour bus with cameras and camcorders at the ready? If so, then it's time to change your mind about some of the world's largest and most economically important travelers.
Since the number of Chinese travelers traveling outside their home country increases significantly every year, it is worth paying special attention to the specifics of working with them. Let's single out 5 different archetypes of tourists from the Middle Kingdom. Let's divide Chinese tourists into groups according to their habits and behavior and make sure that the number of independent and ambitious travelers from China under 35 years old has grown significantly.
1. Researchers. 25% of tourists.
Born in the 60s - 70s They are resourceful and optimistic, love to learn and explore, and plan their trip down to the smallest detail.
2. Discreet family men. 25% of tourists.
They were also born in the 60s and 70s. These travelers come from cities with a lower standard of living, are family people and prefer to relax with family and friends. They choose safe family hotels.
3. Lovers of comfort. 21% of tourists.
The overwhelming majority of representatives of this type were born in the 90s. Unlike other groups, there are more women among them. They want everything around them to be aesthetically pleasing, and, as a rule, they try to find intangible satisfaction in travel. Good value for money is essential for this archetype.
4. Seekers of new experiences. 17% of tourists.
As a rule, they were born in the 80s and 90s, they come from cities with a high standard of living. They love luxury hotels and professional advice on local cultural events. Independent and ambitious, they travel to gain new experiences.
5. Spoiled by the situation. 12% of tourists.
Born in the 80s, they travel to pamper themselves and show others their power and status. Most often they stay in five-star hotels and go on tours that involve risk.
According to Ipsos, a global leader in market research, Chinese youth spend 27% of their total income on travel, making them the most promising group. “The notion that guests from China want exclusively Chinese breakfasts and require a Chinese translator is outdated. Our research shows that the Chinese traveler is far more sophisticated today, ”said Abiram Chaudhry, Vice President and Managing Director of Hotels.com Asia Pacific.
In 2015, Chinese travelers reduced their daily spending by an average of 17% compared to 2014, most likely due to the downturn in the economy. Despite this, one third of those surveyed plan to spend more money on travel next year.
Chinese tourists spend an average of about 3,455 USD on travel per year, which is the largest figure in the world. Young people spend 27% of their total income on travel.
At the same time, the Chinese still spend the most on travel in the world (on average, about USD 3455 per year). Apart from living expenses, most of the money Chinese travelers spend significant amounts of money on shopping, dining and sightseeing.
One of the main requirements of Chinese travelers to the hotel is the availability of free WI-FI network. Currently, 45% of the hotels in the survey already provide free Wi-Fi, while another 46% plan to provide it soon.
Having a Chinese-speaking staff is no longer an important service for Chinese people. There is also an increase in the share of social networks (6%) as a source of information for travelers.
