There is a huge market for mass travel from China which suggests a future for the secondhand fleet.
No there isn’t the economics aren’t there yet for leisure travel especially as the PRC continue to impose travel restrictions (can’t get or afford a passport) on the working classes (the politburo mandarins fear they won’t return and are probably right).

Today and probably right into the mid term that mass travel market is internally within China powering the movement of labour from the fields into the cities however even this migration is already showing signs of slowing.

IMHO there is far to much believe in the Chinese powering mass leisure travel.

Their International growth is about power projection and ensuring world traders can buy much of their crap product.
