Abstract:	Chinese tourism has greatly expanded in recent decades and has recently arrived in Barcelona. Understanding these new tourists and their experiences is necessary to comprehend the emerging trends and respond to new opportunities. Tourism is an agent of economic growth for the city but requires balance in the relationship between tourists, residents, local attractions, and service companies. Chinese tourism in Barcelona is analysed from two data sources: the Chinese blogosphere, reflecting the tourist experience in Barcelona, and local press, reflecting local perceptions of Chinese tourists.
