HOTEL group Hilton Worldwide is expanding its footprint in the Asia-Pacific, as it seeks to ride on the rising wave of Chinese travellers.

Last year, 100 million mainland Chinese travelled outbound, largely within Asia itself; this is expected to double to 200 million by 2018, giving the region's tourism industry a shot in the arm, stressed Martin Rinck, president (Asia-Pacific) for Hilton Worldwide.
