According to Xinhua News Agency, during the Lunar New Year holiday, my country’s outbound and inbound tourism are experiencing a “two-way rush” boom. Chinese and foreign tourists leave their homes and embark on journeys, “check in” at popular destinations, and experience each other’s lives more deeply, enhancing understanding and communication.

Outbound travel pays more attention to in-depth experience

During the Spring Festival holiday, Shanghai citizen Huang Junwen and his family traveled to Singapore. She told reporters that there are sufficient flights between Shanghai and Singapore, and Singapore has recently implemented a visa-free policy for Chinese tourists. The local climate is pleasant and the travel schedule is relatively relaxed. My parents like the scenery of the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and my daughter had a great time at Universal Studios.

Data from the Fliggy platform shows that in the three days before this year’s Spring Festival holiday, the number of travel product bookings in destinations such as the Maldives, Malaysia, and Singapore, which have implemented visa exemptions for Chinese tourists, exceeded that of the same period during the 2019 Spring Festival.

Cheng Chaogong, chief researcher of Tongcheng Research Institute, said that as Singapore, Thailand and other countries have implemented visa-free policies for Chinese tourists, these countries are becoming the most popular outbound travel destinations for Chinese tourists during the Spring Festival holiday, which will greatly promote the prosperity of cultural tourism consumption. .

Experts point out that Chinese tourists’ outbound travel methods, travel needs and preferences have become more rational, diversified and personalized, and they pay more attention to the in-depth experience of the natural environment, human history and lifestyle of the destination.

Senior “traveler” Pan Yi traveled freely in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates during the holidays. He shopped for food at a local large supermarket and also bought exquisite refrigerator magnets. “Going to the supermarket to buy supplies is not only a way to save money, but it is also very interesting to learn regarding what local residents eat and buy on a daily basis.

Foreign tourists come to China to experience the Spring Festival

The outbound tourism market is “hot” and tourists from all over the world are experiencing a strong festive atmosphere in China. According to a relevant report by Ctrip Group, tourists from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Malaysia, Singapore, Italy and other countries accounted for a large proportion of inbound tourists during the Spring Festival holiday because they can enter the country without a visa. The total number of inbound travel orders from the above-mentioned countries on the first day of the holiday on February 10 increased by 90% compared with the same period in 2019.

Zhou Weihong, deputy general manager of Shanghai Spring and Autumn International Travel Service (Group) Co., Ltd., told reporters that overseas tourists look forward to experiencing the joyful atmosphere of reunion during the Lunar New Year with the Chinese and are keen to experience China’s traditional culture and folk activities.

Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy, analyzed that Chinese and foreign tourists are accelerating into each other’s daily lives. People experience culture, enhance understanding and strengthen cultural exchanges during the journey.

According to a report recently released by the China Tourism Academy, as my country’s tourism market momentum and residents’ willingness to travel abroad increase, the pace of international tourism recovery is expected to accelerate significantly, and it is predicted that the number of outbound tourists will reach 130 million in 2024. At the same time, as potential inbound tourism demand increases significantly and the policy effects of inbound tourism facilitation are further released, inbound tourism will steadily recover, promoting the prosperity and development of the world tourism economy.
