Abstract
Statistics have shown a decline of business visa application from China to Australia. Although increasing number of outbound visitors from China has attracted significant research interest globally, very little research has concentrated on business travelers from China visiting Australia for a combination of training and sightseeing purposes. They are group travelers with unique characteristics but have not been analyzed to reasonable depth. This paper presents analysis between what is really happening in China related business travelers and what statistics published in Australia about visa application reveals. A gap between the increasing number of business travelers who visit Australia on private passport and tourist visa, and the declining number of business travelers recorded officially, has been identified.
