東南亞爲中國人黃金週出境遊首選目的地

Southeast Asian countries remain top destinations for Chinese outbound tourists during the National Day holiday, according to the China Tourism Academy.

據中國旅遊研究院透露，東南亞國家仍然是中國人國慶長假出境遊的首選目的地。

Monitoring data from the academy showed that Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are among the 10 most popular destinations for outbound travelers during the holiday from Oct. 1 to 8, said Dai Bin, head of the academy.

研究院院長戴斌表示，該研究院的監控數據顯示，泰國、新加坡、越南、馬來西亞、印尼和菲律賓這些國家，位居國人十一黃金週期間出境遊的前十大熱門目的地之列。

Over 45 percent of the travelers chose Southeast Asian countries, Dai said.

戴斌稱，有超過45%的遊客選擇了東南亞國家。

He attributed the boom to a rapidly increasing number of flights between China and its southeastern neighbors and the latter's favorable visa policies for Chinese tourists.

他將這一熱潮歸因於中國與東南部鄰國之間的航班數量迅速增加，以及東南亞國家對中國遊客利好的簽證政策。

Among the 10 ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) members, nine offer visa-free or visa-on-arrival policies for Chinese tourists. More than 2,700 flights fly between China and ASEAN countries every week.

在10個東盟成員國中，有9個都爲中國遊客提供免簽證或者落地簽證的政策。每週往返中國和東盟國家的航班超過2700次。

In 2016, more than 30 million trips were made between China and ASEAN countries, compared with 10 million in 2011.

2016年，中國與東盟國家之間有超過3000萬人次的旅行，而2011年僅爲1000萬次。

The two are each other's largest overseas tourist destinations and largest sources of tourists, said a report on bilateral tourism cooperation issued in September.

於今年9月發佈的雙邊旅遊合作報告稱，雙方互爲彼此最大的海外旅遊目的地和最大客源國。
