Chinese travelers go bananas for tropical islands, but Beijing has suspended all group tours to the Philippines amid an ongoing sovereignty wrangle over an island in the South China Sea.
Disappointed Chinese tourists, who had planned to visit the archipelago are turning to Bali, Phuket and Jeju in the wake of the diplomatic spat over Scarborough Shoal, or Huangyan Island (黄岩岛).
The three islands in Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea respectively, have seen “a noticeable increase of visitors from China recently,” reported Shanghai Daily.
“Explosive” demandAccording to Beijing Youth Daily (in simplified Chinese only), destinations such as Phuket, Bali, Jeju and the Maldives are facing an “explosive” demand in the Chinese capital right now.
Shanghai China International Travel Service reported a 20-plus percent increase in tourists bound for Bali and Phuket compared to the same period last year. Customers who visited Bali, Phuket and Cheju have increased 10 percent at Shanghai China CYTS Outbound Travel Service.
