What efforts has Africa made to attract China people to travel?

With the rapid development of China, the national economic level has also been greatly improved. For many people, the rapid development of China has also caused an increase in pressure. Many friends will release their pressure by traveling during holidays, and traveling abroad has become the first choice for many travelers.

Speaking of traveling abroad, I am most afraid of visas. If the visa is difficult, it will greatly affect the mood of Chinese people when they travel. The country I want to talk to you about today is a tourist destination that many tourists yearn for.

It is South Africa, located in the southern hemisphere, the southernmost tip of the African continent. South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa with a high standard of living. Compared with other African countries, South Africa is relatively stable and prosperous, so it also attracts tourists from all over the world.

South Africa is rich in tourism cultural resources and is known as? Rainbow country? Different from other tourist countries, there are not many commercial tourist attractions here, but some are world-class wildlife observation sites, overwhelming natural beauty and colorful humanities and culture. It has a unique geographical environment, dry desert climate, snow-capped peaks, endless pristine grasslands, mysterious and interesting exotic wonders, which make tourists amazed.

China has always been a big tourist country. Every year, countless tourists go abroad to travel to other countries, and it is still growing. In the past few years, the number of tourists to South Africa has increased by 30% every year, and many China people can be seen in South Africa. However, after 20 14, fewer and fewer China people travel to South Africa. According to relevant statistics, the number of China tourists to South Africa has decreased from several million in the early years to tens of thousands in 20 17, and even the flights to South Africa have decreased. Why?

It turns out that in 20 14, South Africa announced a new visa regulation: all tourists who want to travel to South Africa must apply in person at the South African consulate in that country, and no one is allowed to mail it, which makes many China people quite dissatisfied and thinks it is very troublesome, because only Beijing and Shanghai have South African consulates in China. If it is near, it is better to say that it is even more inconvenient if it is far away. So many China tourists shake their heads when they see the South African visa.

South Africans are naturally a little flustered when they see the sharp drop in tourists from China. After all, China is a big consumer country, so traveling to their country will naturally have a certain impact on the South African economy. How can you lose China so easily? Big fish? And then what?

Therefore, South Africa has also begun to implement a series of policies to save its own people. Recently, it launched an online visa and plans to grant visa-free treatment to China. It seems that South Africa really likes China people to travel!

If the visa in South Africa is easy to handle, will you go to this country?
