【Live Voice】Travelers inquiring about outbound travel products
Do you have Maldives (Maldives) products here?
Yes, it is already online.
About what time are you traveling?
I expect to think before the Spring Festival, and then want to spend the Spring Festival there.
[Explanation] At the beginning of the new year, the Chinese tourism market has also ushered in exciting changes.
According to the "Overall Plan for the Implementation of "Class B and B Management" for Novel Coronavirus Infection", starting from January 8, Chinese citizens' outbound travel will be resumed in an orderly manner.
On January 5, the reporter saw at a travel agency in Beijing that many tourists had come to consult, and they were going to go abroad again to "travel for the New Year".

The last (outbound travel) seemed to be in 2018, when I took my children to Okinawa.
I took a look at the price, and it seems to be okay, not as expensive as I expected after the opening of the country.
And I feel that it would be more appropriate to go to the island now, and I don’t want to rush to the peak in the future, so I want to go out at this time to relax completely, so that the family can go safely and come back safely.
[Explanation] Since the outbreak of the epidemic, many tourists' departure plans have been temporarily put on hold.
With the continuous optimization of entry and exit policies, everyone's enthusiasm for outbound travel has been ignited again.

I consulted about going to Macau.
Originally, this plan was my plan to start on January 27, 2020, but it was put on hold due to the epidemic.
So we restarted the program three years later.
It’s been a long time since we’ve been out, so we’ll get used to it from the close up first, and then we’ll get used to it little by little. During the summer vacation, we might try to go a little farther away and go to Australia.
[Explanation] In recent years, the total amount of China's outbound travel has been relatively sluggish, and related travel agencies and online travel platforms have also been affected.
With the introduction of favorable policies one after another, travel agencies have quickly re-arranged their outbound travel business to cope with the peak travel season during the Spring Festival.

When the entry and exit are not open, many practitioners say that we have arranged for domestic tourism positions.
In this case, these colleagues who were traveling abroad will be called back again.
Some colleagues who have left CYTS, we have also issued such a call to them to return (tourism).
For these popular destinations, we have planned products, and so far we have carried out some publicity and pre-sales.
For markets like Japan and South Korea, Maldives, Bali, and Phuket, we have also launched a lot of customer-oriented products, such as a family group, some boutique small groups, including some themed products.
Many flights are also recovering, and we are now stepping up contact with various airlines.
[Explanation] In addition, international passenger flights are gradually resuming, and the entry and exit epidemic prevention policies of various countries have also been adjusted.
It is believed that in 2023, China's outbound travel market will continue to recover, and major travel destinations around the world will see Chinese tourists again.

After the policy was released, the search volume of CYTS Aoyou.com also increased by 300%, and the number of inquiries from customers should also increase significantly.
Now many foreign tourism bureaus also release information to welcome Chinese tourists.
As China gradually recovers (from) the epidemic, more countries will open their doors to China.
I believe that through the recovery in 2023, it should be said that (tourism) can usher in a new period of growth.
