What is the impact of the opening of Jiangzhan high-speed railway on Vietnam's border tour?

The railway was officially opened in July 1, and the running time of Guangzhou-Zhanjiang EMU was about 3 hours. On that day, a large number of Guangzhou citizens tried to travel by high-speed rail and take Vietnam border tour and other related tourist routes.

In the morning, I tasted Cantonese dim sum in Guangzhou Teahouse. Go to Zhanjiang to eat raw seafood at noon. Then go to Hainan to eat coconut rice across the province, or stroll around the silver beach in Beihai, Guangxi, or even go abroad to visit Ho Chi Minh's former residence in Hanoi, Vietnam. The opening of Jiangzhan high-speed railway has given Guangzhou citizens a more convenient choice to travel.

Jiangzhan Railway, which is near the sea, connects Jiangmen, Yangjiang, Maoming and Zhanjiang in western Guangdong, and also connects various cultural elements such as coastal culture, overseas Chinese culture, gourmet culture and Leizhou culture. Due to the special geographical location of Zhanjiang West, the railway hub, the high-speed rail tourism bonus radiates to the entire Beibu Gulf urban agglomeration, driving the border tour of Vietnam.

Su Yingshan, general manager of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Tourism Headquarters of Lingnan Holdings, said that in the era when high-speed rail was not opened, Guangzhou citizens could only rely on cars or ordinary trains to travel to western Guangdong. Driving time has become the biggest obstacle for tourists to start. Jiangzhan Railway will completely change this situation. Take "Guangzhou-Zhanjiang" one-way time as an example. It takes about 7 hours to choose a car, 9.5 hours for an ordinary train and 3 hours for a high-speed train, and the travel time is reduced by more than half. Since then, Zhanjiang has been integrated into Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's three-hour living economic circle, which is closer to the tourist source of the Pearl River Delta, and the tourism industry in western Guangdong will also be significantly promoted.

Guangzhou Travel Agency has launched three-day tour in Zhanjiang, Zhanjiang+Hainan, Zhanjiang+Guangxi, Zhanjiang+Vietnam border and other related high-speed rail products. Zeng Dafeng, assistant general manager of Nanhu International Travel Service, said that the travel agency has been greatly welcomed by the market since it launched the pre-sale of Jiangzhan high-speed rail travel route in early June, and the departure date in July has been 40% full. Judging from the current market reaction, the three-day tour route is the most popular among tourists. According to the introduction of Guang Zhi Tourism, on July 1 day, the travel agency organized nearly 1,000 tourists to follow the first group to start early adopters' tours, and nearly 20% of them involved cross-border tours.

On the morning of the same day, Mr. Wang, a citizen of Guangzhou, and many relatives and friends were waiting at Guangzhou South Railway Station, ready to take the high-speed train to Zhanjiang. He said that after his stay in Zhanjiang, he will also go to Guangxi, Vietnam, Halong Bay and Hanoi, which are the planned destinations of this trip.
