Why don’t Chinese people like to travel to Russia?

Due to various reasons, the outbound direction of Chinese tourists has changed in the past 10 years. Initially it was Hong Kong. After 1997, the procedures for mainland China to travel to Hong Kong became more convenient and free travel became the norm. However, after a large number of tourists went to Hong Kong, many problems also occurred. For example, because of the huge purchase volume of mainland tourists, the lives of ordinary Hong Kong citizens were affected, and some people took the opportunity to boycott mainland tourists in the name of "water tourists". At the same time, because Due to changes in the exchange rate, Hong Kong, a shopping paradise, is no longer the best choice, so Chinese tourists are heading to places such as South Korea.

South Korea has attracted a large number of mainland tourists during the Korean Wave in the past five years. Due to its advantages in shopping and dining, South Korea was still the first choice for Chinese tourists until the first half of 2016. Until the second half of the year, various outsiders Due to factors, the first choice for Chinese tourists has become Thailand. However, the number of tourists to Japan has been increasing. After the turmoil in 2010, the number of Chinese tourists to Japan was only 5,000 per month. Now there are 450,000 in the largest month.

The main reasons for traveling to Japan are safety and hygiene. Japan not only has historical and cultural heritage, but also has a variety of delicious food. Moreover, the humanization of various recreational facilities enhances the experience of Chinese tourists. You can also go shopping while visiting Japan. In recent years, the popularity of rice cookers and various medicines are all attractive features of Japanese products. The strong purchasing power of Chinese tourists was called by Japanese media: explosive buying.

On the other hand, after the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, China is the first choice for Japanese tourists. The reasons are: China is mysterious, travel in China is cheap, and China’s culture has something to do with Japan. Therefore, even Japanese junior high school students’ study tours were held in China. Afterwards, Japan's economy slumped, fewer people traveled, and various issues between Japan and China were amplified by the Japanese media, which also caused some people to change their travel destinations from China to other countries. Even so, there are still more than 100,000 Japanese tourists visiting China every year. This is a large number, but there is not much publicity.

The question of how to attract more Japanese tourists. First of all, there must be a place that attracts the interest of Japanese people. For example, many Japanese tourists now go to Chengdu because there is a panda breeding base there where they can have close contact with pandas. Secondly, Shanghai Disney opened. Japanese tourists like to compare the differences between Shanghai Disney and Tokyo Disney, so many die-hard Disney fans often go to Shanghai. Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xi'an and other places are also must-visit places for Japanese tourists. If the packaging is good, more Japanese tourists will come, because China’s rapid development is also something the Japanese people want to see and experience.

First, let’s answer the question “Why do Japanese rarely visit China?” In fact, there were quite a lot of Japanese who came to China in the 1990s, and those older Japanese really liked to visit some of China’s famous mountains and rivers. But now, fewer Japanese people come to China. There are several reasons:

1. For Japanese people, China is not their first choice for travel. Early developed countries like Japan have money and like to go to Europe or the United States. Going to Hawaii for a vacation or something is their first choice. To a certain extent, the Japanese look at China the same way they look at India. They think China is dirty, messy, and poor, and its biggest advantage is that it is cheap.

2. In Japan, there are indeed a lot of negative reports about China, such as environmental pollution and food safety. The Japanese take the issue of food safety too seriously. The Japanese media have been frightened by the reports on China's food safety. Who dares to come to China to eat? As soon as we heard reports about Japanese nuclear radiation contaminating food, didn't we all dare not buy Japanese food? In addition to these problems, there are also problems with some domestic tourist attractions that even Chinese people cannot tolerate. For example, if you go to Lijiang, you will be chopped down, and if you go to Jiuzhaigou, you will be slaughtered.

3. The Japanese are also aware of the "anti-Japanese sentiment" of the Chinese. That time I met a Japanese in Japan and asked me: "Is it safe to travel to China now? I heard that you all smash Japanese cars. Anti-Japanese sentiment is very serious. Will I be beaten or killed by you?" Japanese?” After hearing this, I really wanted to laugh. You said that traveling itself is a matter of enjoyment. Who wants to come to a place full of hostility?

4. The willingness of Japanese people to travel abroad is declining. Nowadays, Japanese people are becoming more and more homebound and like to play with themselves.

I think about this question, and I will probably want to say that with so many of our countrymen traveling to Japan, aren’t they sending money to Little Japan? Doesn’t this promote the development of Little Japan? As a Chinese nation, we are determined not to When traveling to Japan, you must have national dignity. I have seen too many comments like this. I saw a lot of comments and answers like this. Are you thinking too much?

Tourism has always been one of Japan's economic pillars, but a big country is by no means dependent on tourism, nor is it a key industry for a big country. For Chinese people who have been traveling to Japan, this issue should be viewed this way. It is precisely because of China's economic development that Chinese people have the financial strength to travel to Japan. It is true that traveling to Japan can boost Japanese consumption and boost local GDP, but these are nothing before Japan's huge military expenditures. Japan's annual military expenditures are as high as 40 to 50 billion. How much tourism revenue can be included in the national budget as taxes?

At present, Japan's economic growth is somewhat weak and its population problem is serious. The economic problems caused by this situation cannot be improved by Chinese tourists.

Besides, when we travel to Japan, we go to spend money to buy things, services, and enjoyment. We don’t go to make donations. At least when you buy luxury goods or cosmetics in Japan, the service attitude of the counters is much better. In China, if you ask a few questions and refuse to buy, you will just give them a blank look. Let’s talk about tourism services. Japan’s tourism industry does have a very good service attitude. What’s wrong with us spending money to buy services? It’s better than going to Lijiang and getting ripped off, or going to Sanya to eat and get ripped off. In terms of these services, there are still many areas where we need to improve.

Speaking of this, I have a classmate, a male, who hates Japan very much. Whenever this country is mentioned, he grits his teeth and wants to rush over and fight to the death.

"Are you going to Japan to see the cherry blossoms?"

"What the hell! I will give him money?"

"Do you want to eat sushi?"

“What the hell! I gave him that face?”

“Can’t you watch the AV? It’s not coded?”

“…Where is it? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Japanese girls like you, do you want me to do it?"

"Let them see my power. ! The Japanese chick screamed!"

So you see, people like this are also selective! In front of the field he likes, all anger disappears! So you can like Japanese chicks, why can’t others like Japanese beauty?
