Visa facilitation was one of the main point of interests; the main objective is making them more convenient and easy to obtain, also by using technologies, in order to increase tourism flows to and from China.<\/p>\n<p>Many actions need to be undertaken, and this is the beginning of a programme that may require mutual knowledge and additional skills to smoothen the relationships between the players.<br \/>\nMoreover, the development of partnerships among enterprises will be a priority, also through the scheduling of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eutravelpartnerships.org\/events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business events<\/a> such as trade shows in China and meetings.<br \/>\nBy a joint promotion platform, European stakeholders and tourism destinations have the opportunity to increase their visibility, showcasing their attractions. There\u2019s a sufficient awareness that additional direct flights and more visa facilitations could increase tourism flows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Twissen<\/strong> attended the opening and registered a moderated enthusiasm by the European stakeholders, but at the same time the awareness that there is a gap to be filled concerning the Chinese market, especially for the language. Chinese players were considered prepared and with clear business plans, guided by a uniform strategy. To maximise the results of this programme, Europe will have to act coordinated and focused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EU-China Tourism Year can lead to mutual benefits for tourism destinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[125],"tags":[858,862,864],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>EU-China Tourism Year, opportunities and challenges | Twissen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/eu-china-tourism-year-opportunities-and-challenges\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"EU-China Tourism Year, opportunities and challenges | Twissen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The EU-China Tourism Year can lead to mutual benefits for tourism destinations.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/eu-china-tourism-year-opportunities-and-challenges\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Twissen\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TwissenIT\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-01-26T07:53:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-01-21T10:32:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/shaolin-1076523_1920.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"518\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Francesco Redi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Francesco Redi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/eu-china-tourism-year-opportunities-and-challenges\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/eu-china-tourism-year-opportunities-and-challenges\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Francesco Redi\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a32b2b3395dd0994697950c3aee2151a\"},\"headline\":\"EU-China Tourism Year, opportunities and challenges\",\"datePublished\":\"2018-01-26T07:53:26+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-01-21T10:32:54+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/en\/trends-en\/policies-funding\/eu-china-tourism-year-opportunities-and-challenges\/\"},\"wordCount\":273,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/twissen.com\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"China\",\"Europe\",\"European Travel Commission\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Policies &amp;
