On June 15, New Caledonia, the French island known as the Pearl in the South Pacific, officially announced its latest visa-free policy in Shanghai. The New Caledonia Tourism Authority, together with Nova Air's headquarters, a number of locations and exhibitors such as Marriott Hotels Group, has brought cutting-edge news to the Chinese market.
Julie Laronde, Deputy General Manager of the Tourism Authority of New Caledonia, announced that Chinese mainland visitors with valid Schengen visas were free to enter and leave the country. At present, all Chinese team visitors to New Caledonia through certified travel agencies are entitled to a maximum of 14 days of visa-free access to the South Pacific, where Chinese tourists can go "go-go".
"New Caledonia is known as" the heart of the Pacific Ocean, the paradise at the end of the world ". It has not only pure natural scenery and unique historical culture, but also local hotels. Restaurant and entertainment facilities and other reception resources are also very complete. This is the best time to promote New Caledonia's tourist resources in the face of the trend of "minority travel experiences" promoted by Chinese travelers. " Julie Laronde said.
New Caledonia, a French overseas dependency in the South Pacific, may still be a strange name for most Chinese tourists. The tourism bureau said last year was their first visit to the Chinese market and again this year, hoping that the number of Chinese visitors to New Caledonia this year could reach 800, compared with a target of 9000 by 2025.
The New Caledonia Tourism Board says France is the island's largest tourist destination, followed by Australia and Japan. France makes about 58000 trips to the island every year, while Australia and Japan make about 22000 trips to the island each year.
According to the tourism bureau, French romantic elements can be seen everywhere on the island, ancient European architecture and the integration of the South Pacific style. Not only that, but also the world's largest lagoon, famous heart-shaped mangroves, rich outdoor sports, food to satisfy picky taste buds, wonderful nightlife, and simple customs and customs.
Currently, visitors from China to New Caledonia can choose two charter flights from Tianjin on September 26 and October 4, respectively. Visitors can also take airline New Caledonia flights through Japan, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand to experience French holidays in the South Pacific.
