十一假期國人足跡遍佈近百個國家
A report by Chinese travel services provider Ctrip showed that Chinese tourists have left their footprints on more than 1,000 cities in nearly 100 countries during the 7-day National Day vacation.
中國旅遊服務平臺攜程網的一份報告顯示，在今年爲期7天的國慶黃金週裏，中國遊客在近100個國家的1000多個城市留下了足跡。The report, issued on Oct. 8, indicated that Thailand ranked the hottest tourist destination for Chinese in this year's vacation, followed by Japan, Chinese Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Singapore.
10月8日發佈的這份報告顯示，泰國是今年國慶假期最受中國遊客歡迎的旅遊目的地，其次是日本、香港、越南和新加坡。According to previous data released by related Thai department, a total of 7.73 million Chinese tourists visited Thailand in the first 8 months of 2018, growing 16.51 percent year on year. They created tourism revenue of 90.1 billion yuan for the Thai government.
據泰國有關部門此前公佈的數據顯示，2018年前8個月，中國赴泰遊客累計773萬人次，同比增長16.51%。他們爲泰國政府創造了901億元的旅遊收入。
During the 7-day vacation, the number of Chinese tourists flying to the US saw a decline of 42 percent from a year ago, said travel fare aggregator website Skyscanner. By the end of this September, the total number of Chinese tourists visiting the US was down by 5 percent.
旅遊費用匯集網站天巡網表示，在7天長假中，飛往美國的中國遊客的數量同比下降了42%。截至今年9月底，中國赴美遊客總數下降5%。The decline was partly due to the ongoing trade war between China and the US, explained Liu Jiaming, a researcher with the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
中國科學院地理科學與自然資源研究所研究員劉家明解釋稱，下降的部分原因是中美之間正在進行的貿易戰。China's mobile payment service provider Alipay said that the per capita consumption of Chinese tourists on its platform saw an increase of 30 percent during the holiday.
中國移動支付平臺支付寶稱，國慶假期期間，中國遊客使用支付寶的比例上漲了30%。However, a noticeable shift happened this year that more and more Chinese tourists tended to spend their money on in-depth travel experiences rather than shopping.
不過，今年出現了一個明顯的變化，那就是越來越多的中國遊客傾向於把錢花在深度旅遊體驗上，而不是購物。Jiang Yiyi, director of the Institute of International Tourism Development under China Tourism Academy, noted that such shift showcased the upgrading of Chinese tourism.
中國旅遊研究院國際旅遊發展研究所所長蔣依依指出，這種轉變體現了中國旅遊業的升級。
