Myanmar Cancels China Tourist Visa-Free Policy! Second Only to Vietnam, Netizens Aren't Impressed
China is a country of tourists, and in recent years, outbound tourism has become a favorite choice for many tourists. Popular tourist destinations are generally beautiful scenery and suitable climate Southeast Asian countries. Southeast Asian countries, which rely on tourism as a pillar, in order to attract Chinese tourists, some have also proposed Chinese tourists visa-free policies. But some countries obviously rely on China, but after implementing visa-free policies for Chinese tourists, they 'regret' it, like Vietnam. It was unexpected that Myanmar became the second Vietnam.
After Vietnam announced the removal of the visa-free policy for Chinese tourists, recently, Myanmar also announced the cancellation of the visa-free policy for Chinese tourists. This measure surprised everyone, and speculations about Myanmar's move may have been influenced by Vietnam.
Many tourists love to go abroad, but are hindered by the process of applying for visas, which is cumbersome and frustrating. In this regard, Chinese tourists, with their large numbers and strong consumption capabilities, play an important role in the global tourism industry, especially in developing countries such as Southeast Asia. Therefore, Vietnam and Myanmar have successively implemented visa-free policies for Chinese tourists. The visa-free policy not only allows Chinese tourists to save a fee, but also attracts a large number of tourists to the two countries. From the two countries' gradually increasing tourist numbers can be seen.
Now the number of tourists in both countries is rising, but they have successively cancelled this measure. Many netizens are angry and said, 'We don't need it!' Although it's a loss for Chinese tourists, from a long-term perspective, it's absolutely detrimental to the development of Vietnam and Myanmar's tourism industry.
First, for Southeast Asian countries, because of their proximity and because Chinese tourists rank first in the world, they are the most important tourism pillar for Southeast Asian countries. If the visa-free measure is cancelled, the cumbersome visa application procedures will inevitably block some people from choosing Vietnam and Laos. And Vietnam and Laos have always had a label of being underdeveloped, and the number of people who choose to travel to them is originally small. Originally, the visa-free measure could attract some tourists to come, but now that it has been cancelled, it is believed that the number of Chinese tourists will decrease.
Second, because Vietnam and Myanmar have previously implemented visa-free policies, and now suddenly 'regret' it, gives tourists a feeling of 'being treated like a donkey,' which greatly affects Vietnam and Myanmar's impression in the eyes of Chinese tourists, thus causing a negative impact.
However, some people say that more and more countries are implementing visa-free policies for Chinese tourists, and the choice is increasing, it is not a shortage of Myanmar and Vietnam.
Regarding this, what is your opinion?
