As the second most populous country in the world, India has a long history, mysterious religion, beautiful buildings and natural scenery, but it is in such a country rich in tourism resources. But they rarely see large Chinese tour groups and few freestyle visitors, and the density of Chinese tourists in India is pitifully low compared to the fact that Chinese words are heard everywhere in the streets of major tourist countries such as southeast Asia and the west.
Indians also found this phenomenon, and expressed confusion that India and China, the same four ancient civilizations, also have the world's most humane historical and cultural monuments, why are Chinese tourists just not to give face? In fact, in the development of the tourism market, India has done too little:
- Although India has a large number of ancient buildings and sites, but most of the protection and development is very bad, many scenic spots can not be called scenic spots, or difficult to reach, is not suitable for overseas tourists to travel and sightseeing;
- India's tourism in China is not enough propaganda, most Chinese can say a Taj Mahal would be good, even their country has nothing to know, how tourists can have the desire to play;
- India's poor public facilities and poor sanitation, many Chinese tourists see online spread of Indians to steal trains, no public toilets, anywhere, such as urine and other negative news to play back.
- Indian and Chinese food cultures are so different that Chinese people don't have to talk about Indian food. Most people simply can't eat for more than two days in a row.
- The most troubling issue for Chinese tourists is security. No matter on any Chinese website, if someone says he or she is going to travel to India, he or she must be given a kind reminder or disdainful mockery. In fact, social security in India is not as terrible as most Chinese people think. In fact, in the backwater of China, vicious cases are in fact endless, but the problem is that the gap between the rich and the poor in China exists between urban and rural areas. As a major tourist destination, the major cities are relatively safe; And India's worst-ordered slums are often directly in the city or by the scenic spots, which poses a considerable threat to tourists, and a variety of vicious cases have been reported recently, such as the rape European female tourists on the bus. Although it is only a small probability, but it is also too sensational, no one travel only in a hotel, even on the bus can happen such a thing, who dare to go?
- Of course, the hostile relationship between China and India has also affected Chinese tourists to travel to India, and the number of Chinese tourists to South Korea has more than halved during the cold relationship between China and South Korea over the THAAD incident, although most of them are led by goverment. Not entirely personal, but also enough to influence the final decision of the visitor; The same holds true for India.
In short, India, an ancient country with a long culture, has a lot to do if it wants to take a slice of the tourist market for Chinese tourists.
