Russia, only nostalgic destination? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The majority of the Chinese tourists going to Russia are older than 45. It is a nostalgic destination for them having known the friendship between China and Russia at the time. The Chinese travel agencies organize tours in this spirit, a nostalgic roundtrips for a week. These roundtrips are especially\u00a0popular in the north of China. Ekaterinburg, Moscow and Saint-Petersburg are the stages cities include in the roundtrips.<\/p>\n

However, Russia will not be able to always attract Chinese tourists by nostalgia. For this reason, they undertakes with more attractive and dynamic roundtrips (reserves in Siberia visits, descent of the Volga) to also attract the young Chinese tourists. Rather effective method as they have more Chinese tourists below forty and these figures will have to \u00a0keep increasing.<\/p>\n

Chinese tourism is very beneficial to foreign countries.<\/h3>\n

Chinese are the biggest spenders when they travel. There are several reasons for this : First they are culturally inclined to spending money to buy gifts for their friends and relatives. It is not uncommon to see Chinese tourist spend a third of their budget in gifts. In addition to shopping for their own pleasure or people they know they enjoy taking part in very unique experiences. Skiing starts to become trendy, visiting highly cultural places as the Hagia Sophia starts to become more a priority than before. Meanwhile, the Russian government has made Chinese tourism one of its key project.<\/p>\n

Federal tourism agency of Russian publishes many figures concerning the number of Chinese tourists in China. These figures leave many actors in the field skeptical. The first vice-president of the tour operators association, Vladimir Kantorovich stated to have doubts about the real intention of Chinese going to Russia with roundtrips. The accounting of the real Chinese tourists to estimate their contribution in the Russian economy is very difficult and complex.<\/p>\n

In any case, for Russia to keep at it and companies in the Russian tourism industry to increase their sales, they must understand the Chinese tourists behaviour and adapt their services and tours accordingly.<\/p>\n
