Beijing Airport announced the gradual restoration of work: how will the inbound tourism to Russia from China change?
According to media reports, the first time the capital China It will be able to fly 500 passengers a day.
Experts see the opening of Beijing airport as signs of China’s return to the international travel market.
The list of countries to which flights from Beijing will be operated is limited.
Experts called the defrosting of Beijing airport a positive factor. For six months, the Chinese capital was in the status of a besieged fortress, even relative to other Chinese cities.
All international flights from Beijing were withdrawn to other cities of the country.
“... from other major cities in China, international flights around the world have been and are now being operated. But all travel is carefully monitored. These flights closed the need for people to travel abroad for some very good reason, says Ivan Vvedensky, chairman of the board of the World Without Borders Association.
The opening of Beijing does not abolish the two-week quarantine rule for foreigners. Foreigners going to China need to individually apply to the Chinese consulate of their country and obtain a visa - previously issued documents are canceled.
“There have been no cases of COVID-19 in Beijing in the last 2-3 weeks. For China, all foreigners and flights from abroad are perceived as a potential threat to the importation of new cases of COVID-19.
China does not talk about the restoration of inbound and outbound tourist traffic, but experts see a positive trend in the “opening” of Beijing.
" . On the one hand, the desire to preserve the results achieved in the fight against the coronavirus. On the other hand, there is a need for international economic and business ties. It takes into account the position of the WHO and a number of other experts that in the modern world quarantine is not the best way to combat the spread of the virus. They will look for a middle ground.”
China will gradually open its borders.
Group trips, which constituted the main flow of tourists from China to Russia, will be opened last. It is difficult to say when this will happen. First, so-called individuals, maybe small family groups, will come to us from China.
The flow of individual tourists will be restrained by the pricing policy of Russian tourist facilities.
According to the expert, Russia is a budget destination for Chinese tourists compared to Europe, and “we should not forget that it was the low price of trips to Russia that was a strong incentive for Chinese to visit Russia.”
