Promising Future of Chinese and Italian Tourism

中意旅游未来可期

Italy and China share many experiences. We both have many UNESCO listed world heritages and will host for winter Olympics. These common experiences will be a boon to tourism recovery. Italy draws global tourists for its culture, art, natural sites, food and wine. According to relevant data, the trips made by Chinese to Italy are on the rise annually, making Italy one of the most desired European destinations for Chinese. In 2019, Chinese made over 6 million trips to Italy.

意大利与中国有很多相似之处，两国都有众多被联合国教科文组织收录的世界遗产，也都将举办冬季奥运会，这对于维护两国的友好关系，以及拉动旅游行业的重启都有非常积极的影响。意大利的文化艺术、自然景观、美食美酒，都吸引着全球游客，一直是备受旅游者青睐的旅游目的地。据往年数据显示，中国赴意大利旅游的游客数量逐年增长，意大利成为最受中国游客欢迎的欧洲国家之一。2019年，中国赴意旅游人数已突破了600万人次。

The pandemic dealt a heavy blow to global tourism. This virtual workshop makes a breakthrough by applying the digital form, and thus brings hope for tourism partners in time of separation. When global tourism is restored and revived, the travelling and cultural exchanges between China and Italy will step into a new level.

疫情之下，全球的旅业深受重创，本次线上路演是一次全新数字化突破，使我们暂时的分隔迎来新的希冀，相信国际旅行恢复时，中意间旅游、文化交流将迎来更温暖的春天。
