Looking at the average for the first 4 months of this year the Chinese are the only major tourist market NOT to have returned yet using the 2019 monthly average as the previous best benchmark. Given their massively decreased volume it's probably why people get the impression tourism is quiet despite the fact other markets excluding China have recovered remarkably well given global flight prices and inflation/cost of living increases.

 

Russia - 137%

Germany - 101%

Malaysia - 97%

UK - 92%

Korea - 85%

USA - 82%

Singapore - 78%

India - 69%

China - 23%

 

Well, the 23% of Chinese certainly make their presence known, so it comes as a surprise they are on the bottom of your list. As loud talkers they win first prize. They literally shout at each other even when they are standing next to each other. 

 

Russians are really loud too. There's a Russian in the adjacent condo building that talks so loud when he's out on his balcony that I need to close my windows/doors. He's so loud it feels like he's talking to me, inside my condo LOL.
