Baidu Maps and Sydney Airport have reached a cooperation to help outbound travel during Golden Week: No more getting lost at Sydney Airport!

With the National Day Golden Week holiday approaching, more and more Chinese people have made preparations for outbound travel and are gearing up to enjoy the beautiful scenery as if they are right in front of them. But for those tourists who long for distant destinations but whose language skills are not very solid, they must be under the impact of the huge differences in language, culture and behavioral habits. As soon as they get off the plane, they have already lost their way in the complex architectural structure of the airport.

Just imagine, after a long flight, you get off the plane with your suitcases, and look for duty-free shops and restaurants in the airport like a headless fly. Is your tiredness enough to ruin the scenery? If you are late for your connecting flight and cannot figure out where the boarding gate is, you are more likely to miss your flight. Today, such troubles are being solved by Baidu Maps. In the latest version of Baidu Maps V10.2.0, the indoor map function of Sydney Airport has been launched. It is reported that the new function launched this time is the result of the cooperation between Baidu Maps and Sydney Airport (Sydney Airport). Help tourists quickly become familiar with the airport environment and improve their travel experience.

With the sharp increase in the number of Chinese tourists visiting Australia, the Australian government and local businesses have begun to pay more and more attention to the consumption experience of Chinese tourists. The indoor pictures launched this time rely on various services provided by the official cooperation of Sydney Airport. Dimensional information not only provides detailed information about internal boarding gates, restaurants, convenience stores, restrooms and other facilities, but also accurately selects the best path for users to reach the correct boarding gate. If tourists still have enough time before boarding the flight, they can also order a cup of coffee, eat a hamburger or go to the nearest restroom or lounge according to the routes provided in the app.

It is worth mentioning that Baidu Maps can provide more accurate and personalized services for users traveling to Australia or transiting in Sydney. I believe that as long as users are familiar with the function of Baidu Maps, they will never get lost when taking a plane or connecting flights at Sydney Airport. They will also be able to go directly to the store they want to find, and an unfamiliar foreign airport will instantly become their own back garden for leisurely strolling. .

It is understood that 1.2 million Chinese tourists visited Australia in 2016, a record high, and Australia has become one of the top 10 outbound tourism destinations in my country. This cooperation between Baidu Maps and Sydney Airport is the first time that overseas maps have launched indoor maps of foreign airports. The rich scene presentation greatly optimizes tourists’ experience at Sydney Airport and helps efficient people and business travelers to more accurately navigate Positioning, effectively saving time. In addition, Baidu Maps strives to internationalize indoor maps. This cooperation with Sydney Airport also marks that the internationalization process of Baidu Maps has entered a stage of deep localization, and its international influence has been greatly improved.

Currently, Baidu Maps, as the leader in the domestic mobile map industry, now covers 209 countries and regions, has more than 300 million monthly active users, provides navigation services for more than 200 million kilometers per day, and provides location services on an average daily basis.

The remarkable results achieved in the domestic market have added confidence to Baidu Maps' international business expansion, and have also become a useful weapon and experience reference for its exploration of overseas emerging markets. This time, Baidu Maps' efforts to expand the international indoor map ecology will inevitably trigger more associations, and I believe it will be of great significance to the internationalization of Baidu Maps. It is understood that Baidu Maps will continue to accelerate its overseas expansion, aiming to become a high-quality service product for Baidu's globalization.
