中国居民出国旅游人数

　　As can be clearly observed from the chart above, the trend of Chinese traveling abroad is going up these years. In the past three years, the number of Chinese traveling abroad was on a steady rise. According to the chart, the number increased from 7.5 million in 2003 to 10.3 million in 2007 and 15.1 million in 2011. It is expected that the population will reach 20 million in 2015.

　　I assume that there are at least three main/primary/fundamental reasons/causes/factors accounting for the above mentioned changes. First and foremost, the changes are primarily concerned with the income of Chinese. They are better off and can afford to travel abroad. What's more, they have a lot to do with the development of the travel industry in China. Travel agencies in growing/increasing/expanding/mounting numbers are attracting more people to join in their tours abroad. Last but not the least, the changes are closely related to our policy of opening up to the outside world. Traveling abroad could broad our horizon and promote understanding between different peoples.

　　From what has been discussed so far, it is obvious that the rise in the number of Chinese traveling abroad is of great concern to our life. It reflects the improvement of our living standards and the development of our economy.
