Houseboats Capture Chinese Travel Frenzy and Fits Chinese Culture

At the end of 2005, an estimated 22% of China's 1.3 billion population were 'middle class' households with an annual household income ranging between USD $3,229 and USD $12,917. These middle class segment has created a travel frenzy and generated approximately USD $354 billion of economic activity in 2006. They comprise a major segment of houseboat renters/owners.

In addition, the Chinese society is very family and group oriented. It is popular for several young families to rent a houseboat together. The demand is especially high during holidays.

Houseboats can be found in Chinese marinas today. However, they are not very steady on the water especially for sleeping. To work with the leading American houseboat manufacturer, contact us now.
