中国旅游费用 refers to the money required for a trip to China, encompassing all costs such as flights, accommodation, food, transportation, and activities. It's the general term for your travel budget or expenses for visiting China.

When to use it

Neutral. This phrase is suitable for most contexts when discussing the financial aspects of a trip to China. For a more general term for travel expenses, you can use 旅费. If you're specifically talking about planning, 旅行预算 means "travel budget."
