Xiao Yu from Guangzhou is another example. An accountant by profession, she decided to take a career break last year to spend three months traveling in Nepal, India, and Pakistan. Shenzhen-based Gloria Liu, in her early 30's, is a freelance writer now in the midst of executing a two-month overland trip to India after traveling the breadth and length of China.

Self-driving Chinese travelers have the common traits of being young, urbanite, single, equipped with professional skills, and articulate in English. Many of them are female. They often meet on internet communities such as "Donkey Friends", a major source for on-the-road information, travel tips, outdoor adventure activities, travel partners, and a venue for members to share travel experiences and difficulties.

Reading through the "donkey friends" community websites, one senses a strong resemblance to western backpacker culture. While many of the subjects, travel, routes, and strategies mentioned by the community are focused on domestic tourism, in recent years, however, more and more out-bound trips and experiences are being shared online, indicating that seasoned domestic backpackers are now turning their gaze abroad.

There is also a growing trend of self-drive tourists among the middle class Chinese. This burgeoning group has attracted the attention of the Sichuan Tourism Administration, which recently completed paper on the impact of such travel behavior on domestic tourism. The EO has learned of one group of self-drive tourists that will set out from China during the upcoming October golden holiday, heading to neighboring countries linked by land a€“ Nepal, India, and Pakistan.

Shi Yu, head of China Self-Drive Net, organizer of this expedition, is excited about her first cross-border driving trip with the 10 other participants and a television crew from a satellite tourism channel.

"This is our club's first overseas activity. We intend to explore new routes for independent travel enthusiasts interested in heading abroad. This trip is also a historical and cultural study tour because we have invited experts in anthropology to come along and write a travelogue for our website (www.caryouyou.com)," Shi explains.

The expedition is not cheap-- 37,400 yuan per person for a 26-day trip. Shi admits that this is high-end tourism, adding that most of the participants are top level management at their firms.

The amount of self-drive travelers and budget conscious backpackers heading abroad is small in comparison to the booming outbound groups organized by various Chinese tour agencies. In fact, judging from the way the Chinese National Tourism Administration (CNTA) collects tourism statistics, the real impact of these trends are overlooked.
