Market snapshot: TourismKey trends in the UK tourism industry Don't be sleeping when China awakesI want you all to repeat after me: "Ni hao ma... ni hao ma... ni hao ma." Got that? Good. You are now able to say "Hello, how are you?" in Chinese - and if you can't think why that might be a valuable phrase to master, you'd better think again. China boasts one of the world's fastest-growing economies, and burgeoning numbers of its estimated population of 1.3 billion are enjoying more spare time and greater disposable income.

Normally, this first Caterer editorial of the year would contain a rousing call to arms, a reveille to hospitality workers still groggy from the festive season.
