Why are fewer and fewer foreigners signing up to travel to China?

But in contrast, there are fewer and fewer foreign tourists coming to China. Why?

There are mainly the following reasons: first, economic reasons.

Since the global economic crisis broke out, many Europeans and Americans are no longer as rich as before, so it seems that it is not cost-effective to travel to China.

With the continuous development of China's economy, Chinese people can clearly feel the rising prices.

In particular, the horror of rising house prices is no different from watching ghost movies, not to mention foreigners.

Comparatively speaking, they are certainly more willing to travel to low-cost countries such as Thailand and Vietnam.

The second reason is poor service.

Although I hate to admit it, the phenomenon of poor service of scenic spot personnel does exist, and there are not a few.

Many scenic spots are not worthy of the name. There are many fake scenic spots and many pits, and one can kill them.

Even China people sometimes feel trapped when they travel, not to mention foreigners who pay special attention to the travel experience.

The third is that tickets are expensive.

Compared with the prices of scenic spots in many countries in the world, the prices of some scenic spots in China are more than a little higher.

And some scenic spots don't even have any substantial attractions.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the result of interest-driven.

If the above situation is not improved in time, it is no wonder that foreigners come to China happily and come back disappointed.

Foreigners see China:

The price is too expensive to spend!

There are too many people to squeeze!

The culture is too deep to understand!

The visa is too difficult to come at all.

First of all,

Nowadays, China people like to travel abroad, but foreigners seldom come to China. Why foreigners don't want to go to China? China has developed very well in recent years, so the consumption level is getting higher and higher. Prices in China are much higher than before, so many foreign tourists are reluctant to visit China because of the price. This should be the main reason.

Moreover, the price of scenic spots in China is too high compared with the world. In China, we especially like the so-called star rating. After others' rating is successful, we will improve the service quality. Our success in ratings is to raise the ticket price. Now some scenic spots with tourist value have been circled and charged. Some of them are ridiculously expensive, which is inconsistent with the value of scenic spots. The high admission fee made many people evade tickets, and even stories appeared. Some experts pointed to the tiger bite incident at Youngor Zoo in Ningbo at the beginning of this year. Let's compare: Hong Kong Ocean Park can't be played for less than 400 Hong Kong dollars a day. You can take a cable car tour, watch animal shows and have countless mobile games. Many of our scenic spots are not only expensive, but also have no substantive content. For example, Xiangshan Park in Guilin, you can see the whole picture from the roadside, and the ticket to 40 yuan; Go to the ends of the earth, carve a few words on two stones, and get tickets to 65 yuan.

Secondly,

China In recent years, from the point of view of visa, it is very difficult for China to get a visa compared with other countries. Many tourists want to plan their trip to China several years in advance, but they may not get visas for three years, and a large number of tourists will be refused visas.

Apart from Beishangguang, Xi 'an and Guilin, foreigners who come to China are most interested in Tibet, and foreigners who want to enter Tibet must have a special letter from the China government, which is too difficult for foreigners who travel. At present, there are not many countries that open visa-free in China, mainly 48-hour transit visa-free, and visa-free cities have strict restrictions. The travel of foreigners is different from those of us who go abroad. They pay more attention to feelings, and there is not much proportion with the group. They prefer to travel freely, but we basically get on the bus to sleep and get off to take pictures.

Except in China, it is very difficult to get a visa. China people and foreigners have great cultural differences and are not fluent in language, so many foreign tourists are reluctant to come because they are afraid of encountering too much embarrassment.

Finally,

It is the culture of China that attracts them most, and it is also the most difficult for them to understand! China's 5,000-year-old culture is deeply rooted. If you are not a local, it takes time for China people to understand their culture. What's more, it is difficult for a foreigner to understand these cultures at best.

No matter where you go to play, where you spend money. Remember, when you go abroad, everyone in China not only represents yourself, but also represents a China. Don't do anything that hurts the people of China and China.

0 16 number of inbound tourists138.44 million, an increase of 3.5%. Among them, the number of foreigners was 2810.3 million, an increase of 8.3%; Compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan 1 103 10000, an increase of 2.3%. Among the inbound tourists, there were 59.27 million overnight visitors, an increase of 4.2%. International tourism revenue was $654.38+02 billion, an increase of 5.6%.

Of course, if compared with the years before 2006, the growth rate has indeed decreased, but the number of tourists coming to China has not decreased at all.

As a rapidly developing economy and an ancient civilization, China has always been attractive to the whole world. However, with the development of domestic economy and the improvement of China people's own economic conditions, the number of trips by China people has greatly increased, resulting in the overcrowding of every scenic spot, and all foreign tourists are drowned in the sea of tourists from China. Will it give you an illusion? If nothing else, let's talk about the Great Wall in Beijing and visit Badaling on National Day. It's really a sea of people, and people are like ants, dense and dense. You can still be from China or a foreigner. I'll give you 10 times as many foreigners, but I still can't find one. Hmm. How interesting

Of course, from the recent 10 year, compared with the rapid growth of other hot areas, there are indeed many problems to be solved.

First and foremost, the behavior of scenic spots should be standardized. At present, there are a lot of chaos in various scenic spots, and kidnapping incidents abound, which will really affect the behavior of foreign tourists visiting China.

Secondly, improve the soft service of tourism reception. In all fairness, the hardware environment of our motherland has become one of the first-class in the world, and it is impeccable in transportation, hotels and scenic spots. Compared with our service system, that's far from it. This kind of experience is also very important for foreign tourists.

Of course, it is also inseparable from economic factors. Now domestic consumption, especially in scenic spots, is not low. The exchange rate of RMB against the US dollar has increased from 8+ in 2000 to 6+ now, coupled with the improvement of domestic price consumption level. Therefore, it is more and more expensive for foreigners to travel to China. Therefore, some foreigners will flock to places with cheaper travel expenses. This is also one of the reasons why foreign tourists' travel to China has not increased rapidly.
