The joint survey, conducted by Nielsen and Alibaba's payment affiliate Alipay, showed that about 65 percent of Chinese respondents have used mobile payment while traveling overseas, compared with only 11 percent of non-Chinese tourists.
As many as 93 percent of the Chinese tourists said they will consider using mobile payment more frequently if more overseas merchants support the use of Chinese mobile payment brand in future, with 91 percent suggesting that if indeed overseas merchants support the use of Chinese mobile payment brands, it will only increase their desire to shop.
