Tour operators for the reception of Chinese tourists. Tours to Russia for Chinese
The travel service Tutu.ru decided to help guests from China get comfortable in Russia and prepared a special memo. These are eight tips to help a Chinese tourist fit into our society, understand another culture and avoid embarrassing situations. To develop the memo, the experience of guides working in China and Russia with Chinese groups, as well as Russian expats in China, was used.
It was created to help not only Chinese tourists, but also Russian restaurateurs and hoteliers. It can be downloaded for free for any use, such as hanging in your hotel, shop, booklet or book. She is available.
In particular, visitors from China were advised not to touch people in public places, to speak loudly, and to ask permission before photographing strangers. And when eating, for example, in Russia it is not customary to bare the stomach or slurp.
Considering that Russia has entered the list of the most popular destinations for tourists from China (according to Chinese travel agency Ctrip), such a memo will really help both the Chinese and the Russians to avoid embarrassment and unpleasant situations.
The executive director of the World Without Borders Association, Alexander Agamov, found the initiative very useful. In China itself, he said, the problem is very well understood. “However, we should not forget that from a tourist point of view, this is a very young nation,” he added, suggesting that we remember ourselves in the 90s. What kind of eccentricities did we not commit, breaking out on Turkish beaches! “The same thing is happening with the Chinese,” Mr. Agamov explained. - Even 15 years ago, there was no talk at all about any trips abroad. They didn't even have passports. Even in 2017, 18-20% of the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire who came to Russia did not see their capital, Beijing.”
Today, almost 140 million Chinese travel the world, so the Chinese leadership and local tourism authorities are actively promoting the rules of conduct in countries with different cultures and traditions among their fellow citizens - they issue manuals, they make films. Part of this program was, in particular, a video clip, which, as Mr. Agamov said, about a year and a half ago was shown by the Chinese Embassy in Russia. It was prepared by them especially for their compatriots who are going to visit us, it was planned to be shown on the boards of the Air China airline. According to Alexander Agamov, the video was good, appealing to the typical mistakes that Chinese tourists make, not knowing our customs and traditions.
One of them is loud conversations in the corridors and running from room to room while checking into a hotel. “But you need to understand,” Mr. Agamov warned, “that this is not a manifestation of their lack of culture, but just part of Chinese culture. It is impossible to present the excesses that occur from time to time as rejection or, even more so, contempt for our traditions and historical monuments.”
Alexander Agamov shared his experience of the right approach in delicate situations with Chinese tourists. “They are very organized people. The tour leader goes with them for a reason. This man, whom they, let us say so, obey. If the tour leader tells them that it is possible to do something, but not in any case, they will clearly follow the instructions. It is necessary to work with tour leaders, then there will be no problems,” summed up Alexander Agamov.

When you think of travelers from China, do you imagine large group people in a sightseeing bus with cameras and camcorders at the ready? If so, it's time to rethink some of the world's most numerous and most economically important travelers.
Since the number of Chinese travelers traveling outside their home country is increasing significantly every year, it is worth paying attention to Special attention features of working with them. Let's single out 5 different archetypes of tourists from China. Let's divide Chinese tourists into groups depending on their habits and behavior, and make sure that the number of independent and ambitious travelers from China under 35 years old has increased significantly.
1. Researchers. 25% of tourists.
Born in the 60s - 70s. They are inventive and optimistic, love to learn and explore, and plan their trip to the smallest detail.
2. Prudent family men. 25% of tourists.
Also born in the 60s - 70s. These travelers come from cities with a lower standard of living, are family people and prefer to relax with family and friends. They choose safe family hotels.
3. Lovers of comfort. 21% of tourists.
The vast majority of representatives of this type were born in the 90s. Unlike other groups, there are more women among them. They want everything around them to be aesthetically beautiful, and, as a rule, try to find non-material satisfaction in travel. For this archetype, good value for money is essential.
4. Seekers of new experiences. 17% of tourists.
As a rule, they were born in the 80s and 90s, they come from cities with a high standard of living. They like luxury hotels and professional local advice. cultural events. Being independent and ambitious, they travel to gain new experiences.
5. Spoiled by position. 12% of tourists.
Born in the 80s, they travel to indulge themselves and demonstrate power and status to others. Most often they stay in five-star hotels and go on risky tours.
According to Ipsos, a world leader in market research, Chinese youth spend 27% of their total income on travel, making them the most promising group. “The notion that guests from China only want Chinese breakfasts and require a Chinese interpreter is outdated. Our research shows that the Chinese traveler is far more sophisticated today,” said Abiram Chaudhry, Vice President and Managing Director of Hotels.com Asia Pacific.
In 2015, Chinese travelers on average reduced their daily spending by 17% compared to 2014. This was most likely due to the downturn in the economy. Despite this, one-third of those surveyed plan to spend more money on travel next year.
Chinese tourists spend an average of about USD 3,455 per year on travel, which is the largest figure in the world. Young people spend 27% of their total income on travel.
At the same time, the Chinese still spend the most on travel in the world (on average about 3455 USD per year). Apart from living expenses, most of the money Chinese travelers spend heavily on shopping, dining and sightseeing.
One of the main requirements of Chinese travelers to the hotel is the presence of a free WI-FI network. Currently, 45% of the hotels surveyed already provide free Wi-Fi, while another 46% plan to provide it soon.
Having Chinese-speaking staff is no longer an essential service for the Chinese. There is also an increase in the share of social networks (6%) as a source of information for travelers.

In 2015-2016, the number of Chinese tourists coming to our country has sharply increased. Against the backdrop of the collapse of the ruble and the rising standard of living in China, one would expect the tourism boom to have a positive impact on the Russian economy. However, the facts and assessments of specialists who know the situation from the inside show that without the active intervention of the state in this area most of the income from receiving Chinese travelers will be sent back to China. Lenta.ru correspondent Yan Shansky dealt with the details.
The year has not yet ended, but it is already clear that the volume of Chinese inbound tourism to our country will break another record.
How many there really are, as in the case of Chinese migrants, no one can say for sure. The statistics of the Federal Migration Service, Rostourism, Rosstat and industry organizations vary, but even without clear figures it is clear that there are much more of them. It is believed that in 2015 the number of Chinese coming to us has doubled. Relatively reliable data from the World Without Borders Association, which takes into account the number of tourists who come in groups: in the first half of 2016 alone, they counted 230,000 people - 47 percent more than a year earlier. For comparison: in the pre-crisis 2010, the total number of tourists for the year was much less - only 158 thousand people.
The potential of this tourist flow is huge. The population of China is large, the solvency of visiting Chinese, taking into account Russian prices, is beyond doubt. However, professionals involved in receiving tourists from China are far from optimistic. This is primarily due to the unpreparedness of our market: first of all, the state of the hospitality infrastructure and the lack of relevant legislation. The existing trends are such that the main income from serving Chinese tourists in Russia is in the hands of Chinese business, and the positive effect for the Russian economy is very limited.
Who arrives and how
There is a certain regional specialization among Chinese tourists. Residents of the border provinces, as a rule, go to the neighboring regions of Russia: Primorye, Amur, Transbaikalia. Most often these are two-three-day shopping tours. How “attractive” our border area is for Chinese tourists can be evidenced by the following fact: out of 5.5 million Chinese tourists who visited the border city of Manchuria in 2015, playing the “card of Russian exoticism” for their compatriots (in the middle of the steppe they even built a copy of the cathedral Basil's and the world's largest nesting doll), only 0.51 percent of travelers crossed the border to visit the Trans-Baikal Territory.
Guests from central and southern regions China travel mainly to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Both cities are visited as part of one group tour, designed for seven to nine days. It is group tourism that is the basis of the market. This is explained by the fact that only as part of a tourist group you can enter Russia without a visa, and the fact that the Chinese are simply afraid to travel to our country on their own and without an interpreter. In addition, Russia has secured the image of a country for the poor middle class, who are more fun and somehow more accustomed to traveling in a group. Of course, there are also individual VIP tourists and hipsters traveling with a guidebook, but in the general mass they can be neglected.
The tour program is standard and corresponds to the tastes and ideas of Chinese tourists. In St. Petersburg, the “highlight of the program” is the Hermitage, and the Chinese appreciate it not for its collection of art, but for its palace interiors. In Moscow, the Kremlin.
Attempts by guides to drag the Chinese, for example, to the Tretyakov Gallery, as a rule, are unsuccessful: the Chinese simply do not understand what to see there.
The "Golden Ring", the tourist potential of which the regional authorities like to talk about, also does not have any special prospects. Without special knowledge of history and art ancient Rus' numerous temples and monasteries seem to the Chinese to be exactly the same and, honestly, not very interesting.
Numerous temples and monasteries seem exactly the same to the Chinese
All work on sending and receiving tourists is carried out by Chinese travel agencies. It is they who sell vouchers in China, they are also engaged in resettlement, selection of food and transport places. All work on the ground falls on representatives of Chinese travel agencies living in Russia, often without any official status. In Moscow, Chinese citizens work as guides, sometimes they do not even speak Russian. In St. Petersburg, the Chinese are forced to hire Russian translators licensed to work in the Hermitage, but this is rather a happy exception. Everywhere in the regions, Chinese travel agencies and guides collect almost the entire "harvest" from the tour group.
Russian travel agencies in this scheme are needed only to issue invitations, without which visa-free entry of the group is impossible. In fact, they withdrew from serving the Chinese tourist flow. Realizing the futility of competition with Chinese tour operators in the mass segment, some Russian firms are trying to develop a "piece" VIP segment.
Where and how tourists spend money
Most of the spending on a trip to Russia to a Chinese tourist is still in China. When buying a ticket, the travel, accommodation and meals are paid immediately, and practically at cost. The average cost of a tour for 7-9 days is 5-8 thousand yuan (50-80 thousand rubles now, 25-40 thousand rubles at the "pre-crisis" rate). A travel agency can afford such dumping, since it receives the main income from a tourist during a trip.
As a rule, food and accommodation is carried out in the budget segment. For example, in St. Petersburg this year Russian tourists faced the problem of a shortage of economy class hotels, since it was in them, and not in five-star hotels, that Chinese groups lived. Reservations are made a year in advance, which allows you to get big discounts, especially since almost all restaurants and some hotels, even those registered to Russian legal entities, actually belong to Chinese capital.
It is almost impossible for a person from the street to get into specialized stores for Chinese tourists
A tourist travels to Russia without cash. For China, where even bank cards are already an anachronism, and most purchases are made using QR codes on the popular social network We Chat, carrying yuan or currency with you seems something unimaginable.
As a result, almost all purchases are made with cards. All specialized stores where Chinese groups are taken are equipped with Unionpay payment system pos-terminals.
These stores are registered legally, but it is impossible to get there from the outside. The guard at the entrance will politely ask you to leave, citing a technical break or special service. The main source of income is the sale of jewelry. The markup on gold items in such stores is up to a thousand percent. The most profitable business is the sale of fake amber. There is no amber in China, so there is no one to understand it. A piece of plastic given by a guide as amber can cost up to 200,000 rubles. Such purchases are still rare: mostly simple handicrafts made from "amber" and inexpensive gold jewelry - pendants, chains, rings are in demand. Often several copies of the same product are bought. This is explained very simply: a tourist does not buy for himself, but for gifts (wife, mistress, relatives, work colleagues). Articles made of precious metals and precious stones are not interesting for Chinese tourists.
The revenue of such stores is up to 4-5 million rubles a day. They are not afraid of outside competition, since all the movements of Chinese tourist groups are controlled by the operator, and the chances that a tourist will buy something outside of these stores are minimal. Needless to say, all of them are somehow controlled by Chinese business. It is impossible to get into this sphere without being associated with him or having no partnership relations, no matter how good a store with whatever prices you open. Guides simply will not take tourists there.
The income from these specialized shops is the main interest of Chinese travel agencies. They take 30 percent of the profits from the amount spent by the groups they set. Another 30 percent is taken directly by the Chinese guide. The remaining amount, minus the cost of renting the premises, housing and communal services, salaries for Russian sellers and payments to various partners, remains with the Chinese businessman who controls the store.
What is not customary to talk about
One of the main problems that the Russian administration of the store for Chinese tourists faces is the constant shortage of cash. As already mentioned, tourists pay with cards, and “kickbacks” every day the travel agency and the guide need to pay in cash. From January 1, 2017, Russian banks, under the pretext of combating the financing of terrorism, will be able to block cash-out operations. One expert believes that this will force the business to go even deeper into the shadows. Shops will be forced to illegally install terminals of Chinese banks or cash out profits in the so-called "people's banks" in Chinese markets (for example, in Moscow it is "Gardener"). The representative of this “bank”, having received a notification about the transfer of money to his account in China, will give the client the required amount in rubles. In this case, the most profitable transactions related to servicing Chinese tourists will finally get out of the control of Russian authorities.
Tourists are served by representatives of Chinese travel agencies that do not have any status in Russia
Another source of significant income is the underground gambling business. The only legal casino targeting Chinese tourists operates near Vladivostok and is owned by Hong Kong tycoon Lawrence Ho. The results of the first year of the casino's operation should be considered successful: there are visitors from among the Chinese, and they bring income. However, it is generally accepted that the profits of the underground gambling business in Russian capitals are much higher. This business is initially criminal, and Chinese travel agencies prefer not to get into it. Therefore, it is the shadow business that has the most profit from Chinese tourists in Russia: casinos, striptease, underground brothels.
Chinese intermediaries receive a small income from the tourist in the form of a "kickback", but most of the profits remain in the hands of Russian owners of establishments. According to reports from the field, the rates for Chinese tourists are standard.
The Chinese client is disciplined and hassle-free, but not generous. Walking until morning with gypsies and bears is not about the tight-fisted Chinese middle class.
By the way, drinking establishments did not notice the tourist boom at all. Firstly, the Chinese are afraid to walk in them because of security problems. Secondly, they do not understand the format of Western bars at all. The familiar K-TV (karaoke in separate booths) and consummations are already appearing, but they are initially controlled by Chinese business or its Russian partners. For example, in Vladivostok, a bar "Pujing" ("Putin Bar") appeared. Formally, other hieroglyphs are used in its name, but the portraits of the national leader hung throughout the institution against the backdrop of birch trees and beauties in kokoshniks are very eloquent.
Chinese tourist, having visited the Kremlin, the Hermitage and striptease, considers his mission completed
The average Chinese tourist, having visited the Kremlin, the Hermitage and striptease, having bought a set of gold chains and fake amber, considers his mission completed. A psychologically important barrier is the amount of 10 thousand yuan, in which tourists try to fit their entire trip (including the price of a tour). Since most of the money is spent in specialty stores, there is very little left for random purchases in the city (for example, souvenirs from stalls or chocolates in supermarkets), a trifle that the bigwigs of this business can afford not to notice.
What will happen and what should we do
Now Russian companies earn only on tickets, giving the main added value to the Chinese. Of course, we receive new jobs, taxes from the activities of legal hotels, restaurants and shops, orders for the production of jewelry and souvenirs. There is also a multiplier effect, since the same employees of Chinese companies, living in Russia, spend their salaries here. However, the Russian side does not control the service of the tourist flow and is practically deprived of the opportunity to influence it.
The dynamics of processes in the market is such that Chinese business captures all the big resources, including using classic schemes raider seizures involving Russian organized crime groups and corrupt officials. Often, the Chinese negotiate with a Russian partner who builds an enterprise (for example, the same store) from scratch, after which he is “thrown” or ruined by opening the same store in the neighborhood and letting the entire flow of tourists go there.
The situation will not change without industry regulation. Organizational chaos is beneficial only to Chinese travel agencies and those who can extract some rent from colluding with them.
In order to streamline this chaos, a law regulating the reception of foreign tourists is needed.
In particular, it should contain a rule that only Russian citizens can work as guides. It is highly desirable to create a mechanism that allows them to be independent from the Chinese tour operator - this will increase the share of income from the reception of Chinese tourists remaining in our country. And this applies only to the economic aspect, although there is another equally important cultural aspect that deserves special attention.
Organizational chaos only benefits Chinese travel companies and those who can benefit from colluding with them
In the end, we need the liberalization of economic laws and support for small and medium-sized businesses, which would make it possible to create our own hospitality infrastructure independent of Chinese capital, which could become an alternative to foreign tourist flow.
The “Sinification” of space, which is being very successfully carried out in St. Petersburg, and the enhanced training of guide-interpreters are certainly correct and important measures, but, unfortunately, they are practically not supplemented by the promotion of tourism brands and the image of Russia in China itself. The current tourist boom was not the result of deliberate actions by the Russian authorities, but of favorable market conditions. If the state of affairs continues to be so, there is a real danger that the benefits that the current tourist boom promises to Russia will pass by.
