Get more customers with Huanying Connect

Q: Don't most Chinese tourists go on organised groups?

That trend is changing fast. More independent travellers are coming every year , and they actively look for businesses that communicate in their own language. The new breed of Chinese visitors tend to be younger, better educated and less tolerant of the old ways. China is changing, and particularly young Chinese have a very keen desire to see the world for themselves and to experience distinctly Kiwi experiences run by Kiwis.

Huanying (the Pinyan word for ‘Welcome’) Connect is your direct connection to the booming Chinese tourism market. It’s an online directory – written entirely in Chinese – where you can list your business and reach potential customers in their own language.

Even when people understand English, they will always read first and respond more quickly to content that is written in their native language. Communicate to them in Chinese – and get their attention first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Chinese tourists difficult to deal with?

Not at all. With the right communication tools – like translated materials – you will find that they are eager and appreciative customers.

Most of the problems with Chinese tourists are related to cultural misunderstandings and language difficulties. For example, until recently many accommodation providers in NZ charged separately for WiFi, something that is unheard of in China. This often led to much misunderstanding, particularly as notices advising of this were almost always in English!

Don't most Chinese tourists go on organised groups?

That trend is changing fast. More independent travellers are coming every year, and they actively look for businesses that communicate in their own language.

The new breed of Chinese visitors tend to be younger, better educated and less tolerant of the old ways. China is changing, and particularly young Chinese have a very keen desire to see the world for themselves and to experience distinctly Kiwi experiences run by Kiwis.

Isn't the Chinese economy struggling at present?

While some sectors have been slower to recover from the lengthy Covid lockdowns and other sectors – property for example – have taken a hit – Chinese tourism is already rebounding and spend per visit to New Zealand has increased in real terms compared to 2019 pre-Covid. This is the perfect time to target this sector.

What happens if I can't speak Chinese?

That’s where our support comes in. We can advise on real-time translation tools and assistance to help you serve Chinese customers with confidence. Most likely you already have some of these tools on your cell phone or tablet. Other tools are available free or at very low cost. Of course, if all else fails, we are available to resolve language difficulties on the telephone for free.

Why should I pay for translation when I can use Google Translate?

Google Translate often produces awkward, inaccurate or even meaningless results. Professional translation protects your brand and converts leads into sales.
