The number of Chinese tourists coming to the United States during the Spring Festival has reached a new high (picture) According to the Beijing News, the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake has not yet arrived. From the end of December last year to the beginning of January this year, Chinese people entered the peak registration period for overseas travel during the Spring Festival, and coming to the United States to celebrate the New Year has become a very popular route. Among them, the "People Go to the United States to Celebrate New Year" event, which is held for the third time, is particularly popular. Due to the large number of applicants, the organizers have increased the number of people to 1,500. It is reported that the 2013 "Thousands of People Go to the United States to Celebrate New Year" event was jointly launched by the California Tourism Bureau, California Disneyland, United Airlines, United Nations Travel, CYTS, Uoxin Travel and Huayuan International Travel. Wang Qian, director of the Americas Division of the Outbound Tourism Department of China National Travel Service, said that currently more than half of the number of people who have signed up has been for family trips. Zhang Huiling, deputy general manager of the Americas Travel Center of CYTS Outbound Travel Company, said that the itinerary launched by the tourism organizer this year is innovative: the itinerary includes the three major national parks on the west coast of the United States, all included in the tour price, including the Grand Canyon, Bryce, and Zion National Parks; a two-night stay at Disneyland is specially arranged, with access to the park one hour in advance, and a dinner and water dance light show are arranged. Zhang Huiling said that the itineraries for traveling to the United States during the Spring Festival in the Year of the Snake are mainly 12 days on the west coast of the United States and 15 days on the east and west coasts of the United States. The prices range from RMB 24,800 to 31,800 yuan, depending on the departure time and airline. Wang Qi said that compared with the same period last year, the price increase for Spring Festival travel in the Year of the Snake is not obvious. But compared with the summer, this year’s Spring Festival travel prices are actually cheaper. The report pointed out that since last year, the number of Chinese tourists visiting the United States has increased significantly. Although the official final figures for 2012 have not yet been announced, as of June last year, the number of visas processed by the visa section of the U.S. Embassy in China had increased by 40% compared with the same period the previous year. In addition to the "Thousands of People Go to the United States to Celebrate New Year" route, various Chinese travel agencies also launch various special routes during the Spring Festival. Nishizawa Travel has launched a number of panoramic tours covering the east and west coasts and Hawaii during the Spring Festival, and the 14-day panoramic tour is already fully booked. China Youth Travel Service has launched a 14-day panoramic and relaxing trip to the east and west coast of the United States, including Harvard University, MIT and other famous schools. The price is RMB 25,999.
