前言

澳大利亚和中国的关系经历了曲折的一年，但旅游业则是双边关系中的一个亮点，而澳大利亚的国家航空公司Qantas便是两国旅游业合作的一个标志。Qantas对中国的服务大大增加了，增加了很多中国的新航线，而且和中国东方航空实行了一些联营班次。

联盟政府对经济管理的重视意味着将对旅游业和航空部门提供更多支持，比如在《2017-18财年中期经济和财政展望》（MYEFO）中给澳大利亚偏远地区拨款1130万澳元重修Qantas澳洲航空创始人博物馆创始人博物馆。

副总理和国家党党魁Barnaby Joyce表示，联盟政府此次拨款将用于纪念澳大利亚的第一个也是最经久不衰的一家航空公司，此举将支持偏远地区旅游业的发展。

Qantas博物馆 

Qantas澳洲航空创始人博物馆创始人博物馆于1996年开放，里面展示了澳大利亚最早的航空公司——昆士兰和北领地航空服务公司（Qantas）——从1920年刚开始做邮政服务时到现在的历史。

本次拨款重修Qantas博物馆将有利于更好地保存Qantas的历史，保护里面的旧飞机和工艺品不受到澳大利亚恶劣气候的侵害，让当代和未来的澳大利亚人都能够欣赏和学习其辉煌和荣耀的历史。

副总理Joyce表示，联盟政府致力于为偏远地区群体提供资金，保证其生命力。

Joyce表示，我们在偏远地区实行了一系列的项目，包括“偏远地区建设基金”（Building Better Regions Fund），我们通过这些投资为当地居民创造了很多工作机会。

与这次重修项目同时进行的还有博物馆的一个新项目：Luminescent Longreach。这是一个声光表演秀，会使用地板、墙壁和飞机在新馆里向人们展示过去是如何塑造未来的。这个景点对于中国游客有多大的吸引力，我们可以拭目以待。

推动地方经济发展

Maranoa选区的议员David Littleproud称，Luminscent Longreach声光秀会全年开放，将为昆士兰中部地区增加一个重要的旅游景点。

Littleproud先生表示，这场大型的原创表演秀将为昆士兰中部地区增加一倍多的游客。

建成之后，新的博物馆和声光秀将吸引更多的国际游客，预计将为当地经济增加2500多万澳元的产值，贡献64个新的工作岗位。

中澳旅游年

贸易、旅游和投资助理部长Keith Pitt代表澳大利亚出席了在中国举行的2017中澳旅游年官方闭幕式。

闭幕式上演员们表演了传统中国舞蹈和澳大利亚土著舞蹈，官方还播放了澳大利亚的旅游电视广告，展示了澳大利亚美丽的海岸和水下景观。其他参加活动的还有中国国家旅游局的高层官员、重要的航空公司伙伴（比如Quantas）以及旅行社企业等旅游业合作伙伴。

以任何标准来看，2017中澳旅游年都取得了巨大的成功，特别是从旅游业的增长数据以及中国人在澳大利亚的旅游花费来看。

国际游客调查的最新数据显示，截止到2017年9月，中国游客今年共消费了103亿澳元，比去年增长了13%。

Pitt部长还会出席与中国最大的航空公司——中国南方航空公司的会议。最近，南航在澳大利亚的运营网络大大扩张。比如，南航最近刚刚开通从广州到凯恩斯的航线。

南航在澳大利亚的20年 

今年是中国南方航空公司在澳大利亚运营的第20年。南航与澳大利亚的航空互联对澳大利亚旅游业的成功至关重要。

现在，中国游客可以从17个中国城市飞往澳洲，每周有大约150个直飞航线飞往6个澳大利亚城市。

目前每12个澳大利亚人当中就有1个在旅游行业工作，全国旅游业43%的产值产生于澳大利亚偏远地区。国际旅客的增加将直接为澳大利亚人创造更多的工作和机会，尤其是偏远地区。

到2020年，中国旅游市场预计会为澳大利亚产生130亿澳元的产值。我也很期待看到2018年的旅游业增长继续为地方经济带来好处。

大中华旅游洽谈会

除此之外还有大中华旅游洽谈会（Greater China Travel Mission）。通过这个固定的商业会谈项目，澳大利亚的旅游企业能直接与中方买家展开面对面的商务洽谈。

这个活动为澳大利亚供应商提供了良好的机会，让他们更加了解大中华地区的旅游业趋势，增进华语市场消费者对澳大利亚产品和经验的了解。

鉴于中澳之间旅游业交流的迅速增长，新增的航班意味着更多的海关过境流动量，那么政府更新的简化签证系统和生物人脸识别技术，是否起到好的效果呢？或许读者们可以回忆一下最近的旅行经历，告诉我们你的想法！

 『原文』Airlines in the Year of Tourism

Australia and China had a rock year but Tourism has been a bright spot. For Australia， the national airline Qantas is an icon in that regard. Qantas has increased its services to China considerably with new flights and codeshares with airlines such as China Eastern.

The Coalition Government’s strong economic management has meant more support for the tourism and airline sector, this includes to deliver for regional Australia following the allocation of $11.3 million to the Qantas Founders Museum in the 2017-18 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO).

Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of The Nationals, Barnaby Joyce, said the Coalition Government’s additional funding would support the region’s tourism industry, which celebrates Australia’s first and most enduring aviation company.

Qantas Museum

The Qantas Founders Museum opened in 1996 and tells the story of the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service (Qantas), Australia’s foundation airline company, from its inception as a mail carrier in 1920.

This funding will help preserve the Qantas story making sure these historical aircraft and artefacts are protected from the harsh Australian climate for current and future generations of Australians to enjoy and learn about its strong and proud history.

Deputy Prime Minister Joyce said the Coalition Government was committed to investing in regional communities to ensure they remain viable.

We’re delivering a range of projects across the region, including through the Building Better Regions Fund, and it’s this investment that’s creating jobs for residents, Joyce said.

This long-awaited upgrade is being delivered in conjunction with the Museum’s proposed new venture, Luminescent Longreach, a light and sound show that will utilise the floor, walls and aircraft in the new structure to tell how the past has created the future. It will be interesting to see how popular the destination will become for tourists from China.

The Locals

Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud said Luminscent Longreach would operate all year-round providing a major addition to Central Queensland’s tourism attractions.

The large scale of this unique show and authentic experience is estimated to more than double the current number of visitors to Central Queensland, Mr. Littleproud said.

Once complete, we anticipate the museum and show will attract strong interest from international tourists to provide the local economy with a welcome boost estimated to be worth more than $25 million, and to generate 64 new jobs.

China-Australia year of Tourism

Assistant Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, the Hon. Keith Pitt MP represented the Australian Government at the official closing ceremony of the China-Australia year of Tourism 2017 in China. 

The event featured traditional Chinese dances and Australian Indigenous dances as well as Tourism Australia’s beautiful aquatic and coastal television commercial. The event was attended by senior officials from the China National Tourism Administration as well as key airline partners such as Qantas and tourism distribution partners.

The China-Australia Year of Tourism 2017 has been a huge success by any standard, particularly when you look at the growth in tourism numbers and spend we continue to see from China into Australia.

The latest figures from the International Visitor Survey reveal that Chinese visitors value is now at $10.3 billion for the year ending September 2017, an increase of 13 percent year on year.

Minister Pitt will also attend meetings with China Southern Airlines, one of the largest airlines in China. The meeting follows a recent expansion of its Australian network including the launch of its inaugural Guangzhou to Cairns air service.

20 years China Southern in Australia

This year marks 20 years since China Southern Airlines began operating in Australia. Aviation connectivity into Australia from a wide range of airlines is vital to our continued tourism success.

Chinese travelers can now fly to Australia from 17 cities with ten airlines operating around 150 direct flights per week to six Australian airports.

With the tourism industry employing around 1 in 12 Australians and approximately 43 cents in every tourism dollar being spent in regional Australia, this growth in international visitation translates directly into jobs and opportunities for more and more Australians, particularly in regional areas.

The Chinese tourism market has the potential to be worth more than $13 billion to Australia by 2020, and I look forward to seeing the continued local benefits of this growth in 2018 and beyond.

More business?

There is also the Greater China Travel Mission, a Tourism Australia trade event which directly connects Australian tourism businesses with Chinese buyers through a schedule appointment program.

The event provides opportunities for Australian suppliers to learn more about travel trends in the Greater China region and enhances Chinese speaking markets’ knowledge of Australian products and experiences.

Given this huge increase in Australia, China tourism one can reflect on recent traveling experiences. Are the offerings of the airlines appropriate in the face of streamlined visa systems and biometric identification? 

So please take our little survey below!

How do you find the streamlined visa systems and biometric identification techniques used in the Custom service?
