Experiencing Flying: Inventory of Domestic Helicopter Tourism Projects

During the booming period of tourism, various modes of tourism, such as bus tour and go on road trip, appeared one after another, and one of them is very novel and interesting, that is, air travel. "Air travel is the dream of many people. Seeing a city and a scenic spot from high altitude will have different feelings. At present, air travel is very popular abroad. Take the Grand Canyon of the United States as an example. Tourists mainly visit the scenic spots by helicopter. It is impossible to use traditional tourism methods. " What I mean here is not only to take the plane as a means of transportation, but also as an important part of tourism, so that passengers can watch scenic spots from the air, break the restriction of land viewing and experience the highest visual enjoyment.

The rise of air tourism will bring consumers richer and more personalized tourism products, which will promote the homogenization of products in the tourism market. With the opening of low-altitude air travel, tourism breeds new potential business opportunities.

From a global perspective, helicopter tourism began in the 1960s and 1970s. With the development of world tourism, helicopter tourism shows a trend of sustained and high-speed development. In the United States, where helicopter tourism is the most prosperous, there are hundreds of companies engaged in helicopter tourism business, and most of them have good business performance. Helicopter tourism in China is still in its infancy. Since the 1990s, some domestic enterprises have started to set foot in the helicopter brigade industry and made many useful explorations.
