Business travel from Chinese mainland to the UKdropped nearly 13 per cent last year, despite effortsby the government to welcome Chinese investmentand ­simplify visas.
尽管英国政府在欢迎中国投资和简化签证程序方面付出了一些努力,但中国内地人士赴英商务旅行人次去年仍减少了近13%。
The Office for National Statistics said there had been48,000 business trips to the UK by Chinese in 2014,down from 55,000 the previous year.
英国国家统计局(Office for National Statistics)表示,2014年中国赴英商旅人次为4.8万,而上一年为5.5万。
“Chinese visitors to the UK are falling. The government’s plans to increase numbers have failedmiserably. Far from being a record, these numbers show the UK continues to miss out on thejobs and growth that Chinese ­visitors could bring to these shores, said Willie Walsh, chiefexecutive of International Airlines Group. “While the US has just introduced 10-year visas, theUK is tinkering with changes to a system that is not fit for purpose. What we need is a radicaloverhaul.
“中国赴英游客在减少。政府提高这些数字的计划遭遇惨败。这些数字不仅远远没有创下记录,而且还表明英国仍在错失中国游客可能给英国带来的工作和增长机会,国际航空集团(IAG)首席执行官威利•沃尔什(WillieWalsh)表示,“美国刚刚推出了10年期签证,而英国还在对一套已经不适用的制度作小修小补。我们需要的是大刀阔斧的改革。
