China citizens try to avoid cross-border travel. When will cross-border travel resume?

Recently, the foreign epidemic has ushered in a second wave. Before the epidemic is completely over, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminds all China citizens to avoid cross-border travel as much as possible, so as to ensure that the epidemic can be controlled to the greatest extent, and the epidemic will not spread because of the flow of more people. So when can cross-border tourist planes recover from the epidemic today?

Try to avoid cross-border travel. Recently, the global COVID-19 epidemic has obviously rebounded, and many countries have announced that they have entered the "second wave" epidemic and tightened epidemic prevention measures. China citizens face greater health and safety risks when traveling overseas.

On the 26th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a solemn reminder again to remind China citizens to pay close attention to the safety reminders and overseas epidemic information issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and embassies and consulates abroad, and fully assess the serious risks that may be brought by current international travel, such as cross-infection, staying abroad and long isolation period. Adhere to the principle of "don't travel unless necessary", try to avoid traveling abroad at home, try to avoid long-distance cross-border travel abroad, and do a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

When can cross-border travel restore tourism is an industry based on the mobility of people. After the outbreak, liquidity was frozen, which is one of the industries most affected by the epidemic. At the same time, tourism has a strong correlation. Judging from the situation of various countries, the influence has gradually extended from the initial service industry to the manufacturing industry, so governments all over the world are taking countermeasures to avoid economic "infectious diseases".

Whether the market can pick up, in addition to the promotion of government policies, is closely related to tourists' willingness to travel. "The premise of the market recovery is the recovery of tourism confidence, and consumers dare to travel, which is also a good reason for the recovery of domestic tourism." For outbound travel, the recovery of confidence will be even longer. Now Thailand has only changed from closed to open to the outside world. The effect remains to be seen, and it will not be too optimistic in the short term.

According to the data of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), affected by the epidemic, the number of global tourists will be reduced by 80% this year, and the income loss will be as high as $65,438 +0.2 trillion. Tourism in Southeast Asia is the second largest affected area in the world after Northeast Asia.

Tourism is an important economic pillar of Southeast Asian countries. According to the data released by the World Tourism Organization in 20 18, the proportion of tourism in Thailand's GDP exceeds 19%. Thai officials estimate that tourism-related losses may exceed10 billion dollars this year.

The World Tourism Organization predicts that the recovery of domestic tourism demand will be faster than that of international tourism, and the main recovery process of tourism will wait until 20021year. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit survey report, it will take 2023 for the number of international outbound tourists to rise to the pre-epidemic level.
