How to play with the soaring prices of European tours? "Spending less money to visit more places" can still achieve world | Europe | European tours
The door of the country reopened after three years of epidemic, and many changes have taken place in the outside world. For Chinese travelers, the cost of traveling to Europe has risen sharply as a result of global inflation and the energy crisis in Europe. In the face of such a new situation, today, at the "2023 European Travel Carnival" at the random selection commercial street of Shanghai Metro Jing'an Temple Station, tourism practitioners put forward the concept of "Travelmoreforless" and strive to provide more customized travel routes for tourists who prefer characteristic routes.
This European Travel Carnival is the fourth "May 5th Shopping Festival" and one of the important events of the "Shanghai Import Hi Shopping Festival". Tourists from Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Croatia, Poland, Norway, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Hamburg, Belgium, Flanders, Sweden, Portugal and other European countries were invited to participate.
During the opening ceremony, the Chief Representative of the Croatian National Tourism Administration, Quran, said that Croatia is a vibrant country, and Full of life is a symbol of Croatia's vitality, youth, and diversity. We welcome everyone to visit in person; According to Fan Deyu, the representative of Hamburg Tourism Bureau in China, Hamburg and Shanghai are both the largest ports in the country. The two seaport cities have many similarities and are typical representatives of cultural integration, as well as unique and charming international cities. Hamburg welcomes Chinese tourists to visit and experience the different side of Germany.
L ü Diwen, the head of the sales department of the European Tourism Commission, specially flew from Brussels to Shanghai to participate in the carnival event. She said that Europe welcomes Chinese tourists, and European tourism companies have been preparing to receive Chinese tourists again. In the future, the European Tourism Commission will hold more activities to let more Chinese tourists understand European history and culture. On June 15th, the European Tourism Commission will hold a high-end industry exchange conference in Shanghai.
"Sustainable travel" is the theme of this year's European Travel Carnival, and it is also a development direction that tourism bureaus in various European countries attach great importance to. More and more travelers are choosing walking, cycling, or public transportation when making travel plans. Survey data shows that many travelers are willing to take off peak travel to avoid overcrowding.
In addition to basic environmental concepts, sustainable travel also emphasizes the protection and continuation of the entire social form of the travel destination, and takes into account the rights of future travelers. Many travelers have reached a consensus to follow the "local purchase" principle while on vacation to give back to the local community and leave a positive impact on the destination they visit.
Faced with the rising prices of European tours, Hu Ping, the general manager of Shanghai Yuelai Cultural Media Co., Ltd. and founder of "Dinghao Travel", the organizer of the European Carnival, proposed the concept of "Travel more for less". He believes that traveling does not need to be based on the reputation of scenic spots or for the purpose of taking photos and checking in. Instead, he can slow down his pace, save more time to go to the places he wants to go, feel the vacation atmosphere he likes, and achieve the goal of "traveling to more countries at a reasonable cost".
At this European carnival, many participating countries brought their own well-known brands, allowing Shanghai citizens to experience high-quality European products at their doorstep, and some high-quality domestic products were also displayed on site. Crown quality Carlsberg in Denmark, craft beer in Belgium, Swiss national biscuit Jinbaoli, pure ice cream in New Zealand, Croatian fruit brandy, world famous Polish amber, German Hamburg Beiersdorf Group, Caijia dessert, wine in Bordeaux in France, food in Nordic Center, handmade soap in Türkiye, travel equipment of UTC experts, Chinese boutique Lin Qingxuan, etc., attracted the audience to stop and buy, and the activity will continue until June 12.
