Beijing tourist numbers down in first 7 months of 2013

Beijing received 13.9 percent less overseas tourists in the January-July period compared with a year ago as a slow global economy took its toll on tourism. 

Overseas tourists counted as 2.51 million in the first seven months of the year. In total the city hosted 2.17 million foreign tourists, down 14.7 percent, and travelers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao declined 9.1 percent to 347,000.
