The aim of the research is to explore the motivations and expectations of Chinese travellers and to understand what experiences a region in Hungary has to offer to attract Chinese travellers. The results showed the importance of product placement in tourism, the dominant role of the intangible story and its communication channel, the potential popularity of TikTok and its potential in the Relaxation and Knowledge seekers of the region of Szeged - Makó - Hódmezővásárhely.
