Why is Africa the "dark horse" for China people to travel in summer?

Recently, some media reported that in the summer of 20 17, among many summer resorts, Africa suddenly emerged as the "dark horse" of this year's summer resorts.

According to the report, the number of China tourists visiting Africa has surged this summer, among which Kenyan, South African and Mauritian are the most popular tourist destinations for China tourists, with the number three times that of the same period last year. "20 17 Southern Hemisphere Summer Resort" also pointed out that three of the top ten most popular destinations in the southern hemisphere in July this year were African countries.

Experts say that going to Africa for summer vacation has certain geographical advantages, mainly because the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite. Both eastern and southern Africa are plateaus with an altitude of more than one kilometer. Kenya, South Africa, Mauritius and other tourist destinations south of the equator are in the coolest season of the year, and the temperature is very suitable.

According to the statistics of the World Tourism Organization, in 2008, tourists to Africa only accounted for 3% of the total number of outbound tourists in China, rising from 201130,000,000 to 20%, and it is still growing at a high speed of 50% every year. In addition, after the fire of the film Wolf Warriors 2 filmed in Africa, people's interest in African tourism rose again.

It turns out that going to Africa for the summer is not a joke!
