Age of Dreams

The peak tourist season in most countries is usually summer.

For example, skiing in countries such as Switzerland and Sweden is usually only enjoyed by the rich. The tourist season that ordinary people like is always in summer.

Therefore, to measure the tourism income of a country, summer income accounts for the vast majority of the proportion.

And if it is a country with a tropical rainforest climate, it will be even more happy. Except for the rainy season of two or three months, most of the time is sunny and hot, which is suitable for people to travel.

Ok.

I'm talking about countries like Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Maldives.

These countries have suitable climate, beautiful natural scenery, strong ethnic customs, cheap prices, and fairly good security, so they are deeply loved by Europeans, Americans, Japanese and Korean tourists.

In recent years, Chinese people have gradually become wealthy, so they are not limited to domestic tourism, they like to travel abroad.

Countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan and South Korea are a bit more expensive, and it is impossible for too many people to go, but a trip to Southeast Asia is only about 5,000 people. What can't be afforded?

What's more, domestic tourism in recent years has been a mess. You may be slaughtered if you take a trip. It is not impossible to spend eight thousand dollars. Therefore, I would rather go to a place where the foreign tourism market is mature and planned. Lao Tzu is too lazy to accept yours. gas!

There are not a few Chinese who hold such thoughts.

Moreover, as the tourism market in Thailand, Malaysia and other countries has made many improvements for the Chinese people, including the addition of Chinese services, etc., it has increased the people's vision to travel to these countries.

As for those "famous scenic spots" in China, let's stay where it is cool!

According to Xiao Qi's knowledge, by the end of 2013, the income of these "famous scenic spots" had been declining for several years. It can not be said that the income of these "famous scenic spots" has been declining, but compared with the crowded situation when the Golden Week just started, it was almost less. More than half of the people.

Under such a hot tourism background, China's Southeast Asian tourism is becoming more and more popular year by year. Whether it is a travel agency or an airline, they are struggling to get a share of this big market.

As a newly opened airline, as an airline that has just set foot in Southeast Asian tourism projects. Qiwen Aviation is naturally the first to target this market.

In fact, when the Eagle United Airlines was bought before, Qiwen Airlines had 3 319 and 2 320 passenger planes, but at that time these five planes were usually only used for hot projects in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it could not be said that they were losing money. However, due to the limited scale, it didn't make much money, and it was far from the scenery of the freight department.

You know, the freight department is not only making money in the transportation of goods in Xiaoyao Logistics, Xiaoyao Express, and Xiaoyao Mall, but also in the 2008 super earthquake, it has made great contributions to transporting the wounded and the relief supplies with all its strength. When Boss Bian and No.1 came to Rongcheng, they especially praised them. This kind of glory is envious of others.

Therefore, a group of high-level people in the passenger transport department have already suffocated their energy, wanting to have a longer and shorter time with them.

The same goes for Luo Tangman, Qiwen Airlines' cargo department is not his at all. It is all due to Xiao Qi, so he can't show his ability.

If he wants to gain a firm foothold in Qiwen Aviation, he needs to make a fortune by himself.

Now the opportunity has finally come.

At the end of February, Xiao Qi wholly acquired Xinnan Airlines from Xiangshui and acquired 12 of their 80% new 737-400 aircraft, and then bought 25 737-400 and 737-800 from Japan Airlines. aircraft. All of a sudden, Qiwen Airlines has 42 passenger aircrafts, ranking 12 among the national airlines, which is not a powerful one.

With so many planes, Luo Tangman immediately started his own plan.

First of all seven 737-800 aircraft. It happens to be able to fly to the three airports of Chitose, Tokyo, and Osaka in Japan. Two planes serve as a route. The remaining one can be used as a spare or as a rotation during repair and maintenance.

Japan’s economy has already begun to be affected, and the shareholders behind Japan Airlines are very powerful in Japan, so opening three routes is not a problem at all. Even the consulate in Yuzhou issued a special announcement, welcoming tourists from the three southwestern provinces and Yuzhou to travel in Japan, and the visa procedures will be greatly simplified.

With such convenient measures, coupled with the fact that Qiwen Airlines sets the ticket price very reasonable, it is basically one-third cheaper than that of Shuchuan Airlines. Therefore, after the start of the flight in May, there will be four flights a week. , The attendance rate has reached more than 90%.

Many thanks to the tour groups. Because of the simplified visa procedures in Japan, the appreciation of the renminbi and the depreciation of the yen, the tour group is very keen to develop tourism to Japan in the three southwestern provinces. 80% of the seats are packaged by the tour group. .

The three southwestern provinces plus Yuzhou has a population of more than 200 million, and the four flights a week in a mere four can be fully digested.

As for traveling to Japan, is it unpatriotic? This seems too heavy.

When Jia Yuwen asked Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi explained this.

Japan’s economic development is better than that of China, its comprehensive strength is very strong, and the quality of its citizens has fallen out of China. Whether you want to admit it or not, these are real things.

A trip to Japan can feel the gap between us and them and see our own shortcomings. After we come back, we can work harder to support our family and contribute more to the development of the country. Isn't this a positive meaning?

Just shouting slogans, but unable to accept the reality of being inferior to the enemy, this is undoubtedly an act of hiding one's ears and stealing the bell, and it is not worth promoting.

Looking at the popularity of flights and tour groups, it proves that the people also have this need, so don't think too much.

Of course, compared with the opening of Japanese routes, tourism in Southeast Asia is the focus of development.

In addition to the five newly added aircraft to the domestic routes, the remaining 25 aircraft are all oriented to Southeast Asian routes.

Among them, Thailand, Malaysia and Maldives are the most important layouts.

Especially Thailand, although the territory is not large, it welcomed 2.7 million tourists in 2012 and surged to almost 4.7 million tourists in 2013. Obviously, it has great tourism potential to be tapped.

According to the average passenger capacity of 737-400 and 737-800 of 160 people, even if it is a round trip every day, there are only 2,240 people in a week and 116,800 people in a year, which is not even a fraction.

Although Luo Tangman didn’t know the grandeur of Thailand’s tourism in the future, after careful inspection and consideration, he finally decided to start from April, three round-trip flights to Thailand each day, and then two round-trip flights to Malaysia each day, two round-trip flights. Indonesia, a plan to and from the Maldives.

Xiao Qi doesn't like the country of Indonesia, but it doesn't mean that Luo Tangman will not consider it commercially. Of course, he chose the two most popular islands in Indonesia. This is also a decision made after consulting with travel agencies.

A total of 16 aircraft will be used in this batch, and the remaining 9 aircraft are temporarily in a wait-and-see state, and which route is popular will be added to which route.

Anyway, when it first started operations, it took a certain amount of time to adjust.

Moreover, Qiwen Airlines also has shares of Shuchuan Airlines, and both the Shuchuan Civil Aviation Administration and the China Civil Aviation Administration have Xiao Qi acquaintances. It is very easy to change the route of adding or subtracting flights.

As a result, it was only halfway through April. Qi Min Air’s Thailand route has directly become five flights a day, Malaysia has also increased to three flights a day, and even Maldives has become two round-trip flights a day. Only Indonesia’s flight has not changed.

This is basically half-load operation now. If every flight has to go back and forth every day, it is called full-load operation. This will not work for a long time. At that time, you will have to buy 3-5 planes for replacement. use.

The reason why the flights are so popular is that on the one hand, it is naturally a low-cost strategy. For example, in the current peak season, Sichuan Airlines flies to Phuket, plus fuel tax, etc. It is 3,200 round trips, and Qiwen Airlines only uses 2,400. If you choose late night or early morning flights , Then only 1,800, which is almost half the price of Sichuan Airlines.

In fact, Qiwen Airlines could have been cheaper, because the oil it bought from the Fairy Company was almost half the price of China Aviation Oil purchased by Sichuan Airlines, including flying to Japan. The cost of the two is completely incomparable.

However, under the strong request of Sichuan Airlines, Qiwen Airlines still can't make it lower, otherwise Qiwen Airlines can make a ticket of 1200~www.readwn.com~ On the other hand, people in the three southwestern provinces in these years, really It is willing to spend money, and Sichuan Airlines' institutions are relatively bloated. There are too few flights to Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, which is only five flights a week, which cannot meet the needs. Air China's air tickets are expensive and have no cost-effectiveness.

Another is that countries such as Thailand and Malaysia are indeed suitable places for tourism. With air tickets, usually 5,000 yuan per person can play well. Such a high cost performance is of course more attractive.

Entering June, it is the peak season for tourism, and there are more people going out to travel.

Because of the good service in the previous 2 months and the customs of Southeast Asian countries, the group of people going to travel has increased more and more among the recommendations of friends and relatives.

Qiwen Airlines' flights have become even more difficult to find. Luo Tangman temporarily added 20 flights a week, all of which could barely meet the demand.

As a result, the passenger transportation department of Qiwen Airlines finally became a rare excitement.

We are also a department that can make a lot of money! ! (To be continued.)
