Thirty-one tourists from the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan participated and traveled to 13 countries and regions including Oceania, South America, Europe and Asia. The first "60 days around the world" for tourists from both sides of the Taiwan Straits and three regions came to a successful conclusion recently. This top luxury tour with an average per capita price of RMB 500,000 has set a new record in the tourism market.

This round-the-world trip includes a trip to the two poles of the earth. Tourists have entered Antarctica and the Arctic Circle. For them, it is not only a test of wealth, but also time and physical fitness. For tourism service providers, it is a brand-new attempt to enter and exit 13 countries and regions in 60 days and experience the most representative attractions and luxury hotels on each continent, as well as the tourism services of emerging tourist countries.

This round-the-world product is jointly launched by Ctrip Travel, Hong Kong Wing On Travel, and Taiwan Easy Travel. It reflects what Shao Qiwei, director of the National Tourism Administration, said of the cross-strait and three-region tourism industry's attempt to "transport tourists to all-round industrial cooperation."

The group members who successfully completed their trip to various continents and have just returned to their place of residence expressed their affirmation of the itinerary and also spoke frankly about the adjustments that need to be made during the trip.

The views of Mr. Ma, a mainland guest, are very representative. He believes that traveling around the world in three places across the Taiwan Strait is a very good idea. The concept of top luxury and romance is very attractive, and it is "good value for money" or even "great value for money." However, part of the itinerary can be modified appropriately based on guests' preferences; the proportion of service personnel can be appropriately increased; while ensuring local food and beverages, Chinese food can be added according to Chinese eating habits; the itinerary should not be too compact. A few flights transfer at midnight and need to rest for a long time after arriving at the destination.

However, Mr. Ma also believes that "it is normal for such a difficult tour group to have some flaws and adjustments." Being in a group with tourists from the three places across the Taiwan Strait is also conducive to strengthening emotional communication between them.

Guo Dongjie, Vice President of Ctrip.com, said that this "Around the World in 60 Days" not only provides high-end travel consumers with around-the-world services, but also sets a new record in the tourism market in terms of the scope of the itinerary, the top level, and the format of the three-place group.

Online surveys show that more than 90% of tourists have the dream of traveling around the world, but whether they have enough money and free time has become the main obstacle. One netizen said: "It is my dream to travel around the world, but unfortunately it is difficult to do it now due to work. I will wait until I retire." Another netizen said: "500,000 yuan in 60 days is a bit luxurious for me! Is there a segmented tour? For example, 20 days, 30 days, I can try different tours."

Some netizens lamented that traveling around the world for 60 days requires not only financial support, but also sufficient time, abundant physical strength, strong energy, strong will, and optimistic spirit. This kind of unconventional travel is probably only suitable for a few people.
