Q1：What are the characteristics of the travellers who fly to Phuket?

Cen:There are several demographic characteristics. Travellers from fi rst-tier cities, like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen mostly prefer self-guided tours. Travellers from other major provinces like Henan, Hunan, and Sichuan are attracted to package/group tours. China Southern has provided differentiated services accordingly. In Guangzhou and Shenzhen, fl ight+hotel products are launched to meet traveler needs while in Changsha, Zhengzhou, Guiyang and Shenyang, group products are more emphasised. China Southern has plans to launch in-depth tour products targeted at high-end travellers in China.

Q2：What is China Southern's competitive advantage compared to other airlines?

Cen:China Southern is able to offer plenty of choices to travellers with its extensive network, fl exible schedule, and many destinations. Direct services to Phuket are now available from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Changsha, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Guiyang and Shenyang with a total of 68 fl ights weekly. Utilising China Southern'spowerful networks, travellers can depart major Chinese cities and arrive in Phuket on the same day.

Q3:Any tips for first-time travel in Phuket?

Cen:Due to its tropical location, the weather in Phuket is hot and humid. Travellers are suggested to bring heatstroke prevention medicine and sun block products. Travellers are allowed to get visaon-arrival at Phuket airport but the wait to get these can be very long, it is instead suggested that visas be obtained before departure.

Q4： Please recommend your most trusted sources of travel information, such as official websites, travel agencies, etc.

Cen:Best choice for booking air tickets is via China Southern Holiday http://www.csairholiday. com/, a professional and ef fi cient website with extensive information about self-guided tours. To learn more local information, travellers can reach Sweetland (Ph: +6676-346-923) and Southservice (Ph: +6676-211-432). These are the two biggest local travel agencies providing services in Phuket and nearby islands.

Q1：目前飛普吉島的旅客有什么特點(diǎn)？

岑：目前飛普吉島的旅客呈現(xiàn)如下特點(diǎn)：北上廣深四個(gè)城市多為散客自由行；其他人口大省如河南、湖南、四川等團(tuán)隊(duì)客源不少。南航也因此提供了差異化的產(chǎn)品，比如針對(duì)廣州、深圳等地主要推出“機(jī)+酒”自由行產(chǎn)品；在長(zhǎng)沙、鄭州、貴陽(yáng)、沈陽(yáng)等航線推出系列團(tuán)隊(duì)產(chǎn)品。未來(lái)會(huì)考慮面向中國(guó)的高端消費(fèi)群體提供定制化的深度體驗(yàn)產(chǎn)品。

Q2：相比其他航空公司，南航的優(yōu)勢(shì)在哪里？

岑：南航的優(yōu)勢(shì)在于通航城市多，航班量大，旅客選擇多。南航目前已開(kāi)通了廣州、深圳、長(zhǎng)沙、武漢、鄭州、貴陽(yáng)、沈陽(yáng)至普吉島的直達(dá)航班，每周共運(yùn)行68班次。憑借南航在國(guó)內(nèi)強(qiáng)大的航線網(wǎng)絡(luò)，旅客可從全國(guó)各主要城市出發(fā)，基本當(dāng)天就可以到達(dá)普吉島。

Q3:對(duì)于第一次到普吉島的旅客，需要特別做哪些提醒？

岑：氣候上，普吉島地處熱帶，氣候炎熱潮濕，建議準(zhǔn)備適量的防暑藥品和防曬霜。簽證方面，普吉島機(jī)場(chǎng)可現(xiàn)場(chǎng)辦理旅游落地簽。但由于辦理人數(shù)很多，建議還是提前在國(guó)內(nèi)辦好簽證。

Q4： 請(qǐng)為赴普吉旅游的旅客，推薦最有品質(zhì)保證的預(yù)訂航空旅行產(chǎn)品、了解信息的渠道。

岑：預(yù)訂航空旅行產(chǎn)品首選南航假期（網(wǎng)址http://www.csairholiday.com/），可提供種類豐富的自由行產(chǎn)品，并有專人高效服務(wù)。 了解當(dāng)?shù)芈糜涡畔⒌那溃寒?dāng)?shù)貎纱笾髁髀眯猩纾篠WEETLAND（服務(wù)電話：+6676-346-923）和SOUTHSERVICE（服務(wù)電話：+6676-211-432），提供普吉島本島及附近離島的旅游產(chǎn)品。
