Shanghai may not have been singled out by President Obama as a luxury business destination, but it must be noted that in no way does the city have the visitor numbers to back up this boost: Tourism is down 11 percent and hotel occupancy down 10 percent, not nearly as bad as some cities but not enough to justify major development this early.
On the bright side, if you can still afford to travel to Shanghai, we bet you can score some massive deals.
