With the global popularity of the domestic film “Nezha 2”, the Chinese cultural elements in the film have inspired overseas tourists to travel and travel in China. With the dual support of the continuous expansion and upgrading of visa-free policies and the convenience of customs clearance, more and more foreign tourists choose to take a “Chinese trip” that can go with ease.
On March 4, there were endless tourists in the entry hall of Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport. Recently, about 1,500 foreign tourists have entered the country every day, opening up the “China Travel” where they move from movies to reality.
Mexican traveler Miguel Silva:Recently, Chinese art is great and creative, especially the Nezha movie, which shows Chinese culture in a very interesting way. All the characters, actions and the stories behind the entire movie are great. I think it is a very novel thing for many of my American and Mexican friends. In terms of games, China has “Black Myth: Wukong”, which is also using a very powerful way to showcase Chinese culture. Games are a way to combine Chinese culture with daily life.
Greek traveler Nicholas Cartersalis:I come from Greece, we are all countries with very ancient cultures. I know a lot of cultures in your country, such as the Great Wall, and we also know a lot of stories about Chinese philosophy.
Chinese film and television works continue to go abroad and go to the world, and also present more Chinese natural scenery, customs and traditional culture to the whole world.
At present, China has achieved comprehensive mutual exemption with 26 countries, piloted unilateral visa-free policies for 38 countries, and implemented transit visa-free policies for 54 countries, so that more foreign tourists can travel to “China travel”.
Qingdao Jiaodong Airport Customs Inspection Sankema Dream Stone:In the first two months of this year, Qingdao Airport had more than 250,000 inbound passengers, a year-on-year increase of 27%, and inbound foreign tourists exceeded 70,000, a year-on-year increase of 50%.
“Travel with movies” is becoming more and more foreign tourists choose to switch from watching China on the screen to feeling China down-to-earth. As an important aviation hub in northern China, Qingdao Airport is also close to the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Relying on its rich route resources and convenient customs clearance environment, Qingdao Airport has become the first choice portal for many foreign tourists to enter China.
Xiao Bingbing, Terminal Management Department of Qingdao Airport Group Operation Management Company:More and more foreign tourists are thinking of a “movie + tourism” in China. We have also innovated service measures and formulated a “passenger guide” compiled in four languages: Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean. The content covers flight processes, transportation, commerce and special passenger services, etc., to better undertake this wave of entry boom.
