A reporter asked: According to reports, with the arrival of the first batch of Chinese tourist groups, people from many countries said that they are stepping up efforts to improve tourist facilities to prepare for attracting more Chinese tourists.
What is China's comment?
Wang Wenbin said that I have noticed relevant reports.
It is great to see that Chinese tourists go abroad, bringing new vitality to the recovery of tourism and economic development in many countries.
After the good news of China's resumption of outbound group tours has spread around the world, governments and tourism practitioners in many countries are looking forward to and warmly welcoming Chinese tourists.
The Kenyan tourism department held a welcome ceremony for the first batch of Chinese tour groups; the red carpet was laid out in the scenic parks of the United Arab Emirates to welcome the return of Chinese tourist groups; Switzerland put up a banner with "Welcome to Geneva, Switzerland!" at the arrival channel of the terminal; The Joint Statement with the Kingdom of Cambodia on Building a China-Cambodia Community with a Shared Future in the New Era specifically mentioned that Cambodia warmly welcomes Chinese tourists and will provide Chinese tourists with high-quality services and security; the Hungarian National Tourism Administration stated that it has done a good job to make Chinese tourists feel at home Prepare for action to welcome Chinese tourists to come again.
Before the epidemic, China had been the world's largest outbound travel market for many years in a row, and Chinese tourists were the world's largest overseas travel consumer group.
With the recovery of outbound tourism, it is believed that the economic and cultural exchanges between China and other countries will be further deepened, adding more confidence and momentum to the global economic recovery.
We also hope that relevant countries will provide Chinese tourists with a safe and convenient environment and conditions, and remind Chinese tourists to enhance their safety awareness and travel in a safe, civilized and healthy manner.
