中国持续推进入境便利化政策,单方面免签停留期限延长至30天,吸引更多海外游客访华。
中新网北京10月5日电(宋雪晴)故宫、长城、兵马俑……这些经典景点向来是海外游客来华旅行的热门选择,如今,他们的中国之旅正变得更加丰富。
随着入境便利化政策持续推进,海外游客来源国更加多元,在华旅行时间延长,旅行方式从经典“打卡”向深度体验延伸。
不只“来过中国”,还想“多待几天”
“今年9月初,旅行社接待的入境游客数量较去年同期增长约30%。”众信旅游集团媒介公关经理李梦然说,“近年来海外游客的来源国越来越多元,都想要来中国看看。”据她介绍,从客源地看,俄罗斯、中亚国家以及东南亚游客增长较为明显,同时欧洲、美国、加拿大等欧美客源也在增加。
供职于一家外资旅行社、从业18年的德语导游向敏琦也感受到这种变化。她表示,近两年,免签政策为入境游带来明显利好。据她所在旅行社的实际接待情况,单方面免签停留期限延长至30天后,团客和散客数量均有明显增加。
不过,政策利好并不只是简单延长旅行时间。
向敏琦观察,即使此前免签停留期较短,也有不少欧洲游客选择十几天的中国游。在她看来,免签政策首先提高了来华旅游的便利性,也增强了入境游产品的成本优势。同时,也让家庭游、自由行的游客有了“说走就走”的可能。
旅行社产品的变化体现得更加直观。李梦然介绍,过去北京入境游产品通常安排三四天,以故宫、颐和园、长城等经典景点为主,如今游北京一地会延长至七八天,出现了细分的古都游、休闲观光游等产品。
海外博主扮演“旅游体验官”
在向敏琦看来,入境游客大致可以分为几类:一类是受朋友、社交媒体等影响而来的打卡型游客;另一类是对中国文化感兴趣、已经来过中国的游客,他们更愿意寻找小众、深度的旅行产品;此外,还有一些有个性化需求的游客。
经典线路依然占据入境游重要位置。在向敏琦接待的德国游客中,北京、上海、西安等经典线路目前仍然较受欢迎,约有60%的游客会选择这类打卡线路。
不过,“打卡”并不意味着旅行内容一成不变,旅行社正在尝试把这些传统目的地与体验结合起来。
李梦然进一步解释称,入境游秋季产品会安排北京古北水镇住宿,爬夜长城、看灯光秀,让游客体验与白天登长城不同的旅行方式;西南地区的成都路线安排代表性的川剧变脸体验,云南路线则推出采茶、制茶体验。“海外游客都很喜欢体验。”李梦然说。
不同客源市场的偏好也有所区别。向敏琦介绍,对于已经来过中国的游客,小众目的地的吸引力正在增强,“这类游客会选择二三线城市,比如河南洛阳、成都都江堰、桂林阳朔等。”李梦然观察到,东南亚和韩国游客相对更喜欢湖南张家界、新疆喀什等地;欧美游客则更加关注人文历史、名胜古迹。
海外社交媒体的“种草”也在影响旅行目的地的选择。
向敏琦曾遇到海外游客拿着博主发布的餐厅照片,表示希望打卡同款。“我关注本地旅游市场多年,几乎没听说过。”后来她查询才发现,这家餐厅在国外已经颇有热度。在她看来,海外博主正在扮演“旅游体验官”的角色,影响其他游客的目的地选择。
海外游客在中国的消费兴趣正在扩展到更多元的领域。“购买中式旗袍、中国白酒、熊猫文创这些倒不新鲜,但是小米、华为等电子产品,甚至自行车等户外运动用品,都出现在海外游客的购买清单中。”李梦然说。
科技游成为热门选项
中国科技产业和数字生活正在成为海外游客认识中国的重要窗口。
“今年科技游比较火热。”李梦然介绍,近年来,海外商务团在中国的行程里,新增了参访人形机器人、无人机企业的安排。这一需求背后是经贸往来的推动。“中国具身智能发展迅速,不少国家的商务人士希望到中国参观学习。”李梦然说。
在向敏琦接待的海外游客中,也有主动寻找中国科技主题行程的情况。她表示,机器人和无人驾驶是今年比较受关注的领域,一些游客在完成团体行程后,会放弃传统景点,选择自由行,前往北京亦庄的世界机器人大会现场采风。
移动支付、网约车、酒店配送机器人等,也成为海外游客观察中国日常生活的新窗口。向敏琦介绍,一些游客在出发前会下载微信、支付宝,以便在中国打车、乘坐地铁;酒店和餐厅里的配送机器人,也经常吸引他们拍照、体验,分享到社交媒体上。
这种“科技体验”也逐渐融入旅行日常。向敏琦曾遇到海外游客遗失物品后,通过同城配送将物品送到机场,也有游客通过外卖购买应急生活用品。
“他们太震惊了。”向敏琦说,“这种时候心里是很骄傲的。”
