The rapid rise of China's outbound tourism injects confidence into the revitalization of global tourism
2023-02-20
Since the resumption of the pilot of China's outbound group tourism business on February 6, only half a month has passed since the rapid rise of China's outbound tourism. On February 17, three travel agencies organized outbound tours on the flight from Zhengzhou to Thailand carried out by Thailand Royal Bird Airlines Public Co., Ltd; On March 18, Ctrip's first New Zealand outbound group, which started from Shanghai and had a per capita price of 27999 yuan, was sold out immediately after the opening and sale; The number of citizens applying for changing passports in many entry and exit reception halls in Beijing has increased, and many reception points have been filled up... The "warm" meaning of this river spring water is strongly perceived by the international community. Many governments and the tourism industry said that they warmly welcome Chinese tourists to come again. The Asia-Pacific Tourism Association predicts that Thailand will receive 500000 Chinese tourists in the next two months. It is expected that the 20 countries that have welcomed many "small peaks" to pilot the resumption of outbound group tourism business are mostly destinations with relatively convenient visa, transportation or entry policies. Sheng Yi, the outbound tour leader of CYTS, has been paying close attention to relevant information. On February 16, local time, the Swedish presidency of the European Union issued a statement that the member countries of the Schengen region had agreed to gradually cancel the entry epidemic prevention requirements for passengers departing from China from that day. "I believe that the number of tourists who choose to visit Europe will continue to increase. We will also be busy!" Sheng Yi said. Maldives is one of the most popular high-end island holiday destinations for Chinese tourists. On February 17, the official WeChat official account of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "Consular Express", announced that the Agreement between the Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Republic of Maldives on Mutual Visa Exemption had officially entered into force. Chinese citizens who hold valid Chinese passports and plan to stay in Maldives for no more than 30 days due to short-term reasons such as tourism, business, family visit, transit, etc., are exempt from visas. This policy will bring convenience to Chinese tourists who love island tours. According to the data of the Flying Pig Platform, the search volume of Maldives ticket increased by nearly 10 times after the news was released, among which Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other places have become the hot tourist sources of Maldives in the near future. On the Ctrip platform, the number of visitors to the destination of Maldives increased by 200% in half an hour. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, China was the largest tourist source of Maldives for many consecutive years. Wang Lixin, Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia, said that tourism is the pillar industry of Maldives, and the arrival of Chinese tourists will help the economic recovery of Maldives after the epidemic, and also help promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges and civil exchanges between China and Malaysia. Maosum, Minister of Tourism of Maldives, said that Chinese tourists have made a great contribution to the tourism of Maldives. Maldives originally planned to attract 1.8 million foreign tourists this year. With the arrival of Chinese tourists, the original target number is expected to increase by at least 10%. In addition to good policies, international flight encryption has also effectively promoted the rise of outbound tourism. Shang Kejia, deputy director of the Department of Transportation of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said at a press conference recently that China has resumed scheduled passenger flights with 58 countries, and the number of international flights is expected to increase further after the season change.
