French island team visa-free! How to get to New Caledonia? Where do you live?

On June 15, Jean-Marc, the general manager of the New Caledonia Tourism Bureau, officially announced at the Shanghai Station of the China Road Show that all China delegation visitors to New Caledonia who have passed the certified travel agency can enjoy the visa-free right for up to 14 days (inclusive). Note that it is a group visa exemption.

Speaking of New Caledonia, many people may be unfamiliar. It is an overseas territory of France, but it is not in Europe, but in distant Oceania. The specific location is in the center of the South Pacific between Australia and New Zealand. "Caledonia" is the old name of the ancient Romans for Scotland in northern Great Britain. After the discovery of New Caledonia, the British thought that the dense forests of New Caledonia were similar to those of Scotland, so they named it "New Caledonia".

New Caledonia's positioning is relatively high-end. It has been widely publicized in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States. Although the scenery is excellent, few Japanese people visit it. Since last year, New Caledonia has started targeting the China market and opening flights to chartered flight in domestic cities. Together with many travel agencies, it has organized tour groups since the Spring Festival this year. Perhaps because of China's huge market potential, this "island upstart" recently officially announced visa-free for group tourists. Whether you choose "visa-free group tour" or "free travel", New Caledonia can let you enjoy the French style of the South Pacific.

Tip 1: air ticket

At present, there are no regular direct flights to New Caledonia, and ordinary tourists need to transfer from Australia/New Zealand/Japan, among which Japan is highly recommended. Special fares from Japan to New Caledonia sometimes only cost more than 2k round trip. In addition, the special ticket from China to Japan is generally maintained at around 1k5, and the round-trip ticket is properly settled at 4k. Of course, there are often special fares between China and Australia, but there are few discounts from Australia to New Caledonia. It is recommended to transfer to Australia.

In addition, the official can also find that there are two classes that will sail grandly from Tianjin to chartered flight in Noumé a (September 26th, 65438+10/October 4th) to choose from. It is reported that direct flights between the two countries will also be officially opened in 2020.

Tip 2: Hotel

When it comes to hotels in New Caledonia, we have to mention the top three-one is Sheraton on the island, the other is Amy Matsushima, and the other is Hermit Hotel on Hermit Island.

Each of them has its own characteristics, and the experience is highly recommended. It's just that the price is a little expensive and the budget needs to be relaxed.
