BEIJING, June 27 (Xinhua) — Beidaihe Resort Area in Qinhuangdao City, north China’s Hebei Province, has been a favorite vacation spot for Russian tourists for many years. This summer, local authorities have taken various measures to provide Russian travelers with high-quality services that combine international standards and regional features.
Beidaihe District, administratively subordinate to Qinhuangdao City, is located in the northern part of the Bohai Sea coast and is approximately 300 kilometers east of Beijing.
Beidaihe Friendship Hotel is one of the first local agencies to welcome Russian tourists. Before the summer season, the hotel rooms were renovated and modernized to make foreign guests feel more comfortable.
“In order to provide high-quality service and reception to Russian guests, we not only renovated and modernized the rooms, but also installed dehumidifiers in them. We hope that by optimizing every detail, the quality of guests’ stay will improve,” said Yang Xiaokun, Marketing Manager of the hotel.
Many restaurants and hotels, optimistic about the business opportunities of the inbound tourism market, have also begun to modernize. Some have even organized training sessions for their employees on Russian culture and language, and have begun to offer dishes in accordance with the culinary preferences of Russians.
“Our staff can communicate with guests in Russian. We also paid attention to the habits of Russian tourists, and, for example, extended the breakfast service to 10 o’clock. At the same time, we added hand-ground coffee, black tea, homemade strawberry jam and canned fruits to the menu so that Russian tourists feel cozy and comfortable,” said Su Xin, manager of Beidaihe Deyuan Hotel.
On the evening of June 16, the first charter tourist group of 2025 with 100 tourists arrived from Yakutsk to the city of Qinhuangdao.
“This year, Russian tourists came to Beidaihe earlier than in previous years. Usually, they just spent their time on the beach, but now many of them are showing interest in traditional Chinese culture,” said Sun Lanqing, manager of the Haizhiyun travel agency in Qinhuangdao.
In the future, Qinhuangdao City will launch inbound tourism promotion activities. Qinhuangdao will strengthen international cooperation, develop a series of tourist routes, optimize tourism products, so as to enhance Qinhuangdao’s overseas tourism appeal. -0-
