What global experience officers say about the "Travel in Yunnan" App

The “Yunnan mobile phone tour” global experience officer programme has recently come to a close, demonstrating what the “Travel in Yunnan” App is capable of providing for Yunnan’s ever-growing number of tourists.

In the past two weeks, 50 experience officers from all over the world travelled to cities in Yunnan including Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Pu’er, Honghe, Shangri-La, Tengchong, and Mangshi. The officers were divided into five groups with five differently themed itineraries, a parent-child tour, a romantic tour, a movie tour, a photography tour and a national border tour. Using the “Travel in Yunnan” App, they told our reporters about their experiences of “smart tourism” in colourful Yunnan.

“The APP is not just a platform for technical service, but also a platform that integrates tourism data and resources. From high-speed rail to walking on foot, the APP can combine various means of transportation to provide tourists with the best, most convenient travel experience. In the future, the APP will have different grades available for purchase which will provide customized routes depending on how much a given traveller wants to spend,” said Shi Peihua, the Secretary-General of the China Tourism Think Tank.

MC Maziya is an experience officer from South Africa. He bought a ticket on the APP to visit a scenic spot and entered his personal information. Even as an international experience officer, MC Maziya got a whole new travelling experience on this trip to Yunnan. At the scenic spot, he was admitted through facial recognition. He was amazed that the “Travel in Yunnan” App could even recognize a foreign face.

Zhou Rui is an experience officer of Wa people from Lincang, Yunnan. He studied in the United States and has travelled to 205 cities in 25 countries. On a visit to the Yunnan Nationality Village, he took out his mobile phone to check an electronic tour guide and a video on the folk customs of Wa people. After a while, he arrived at the Wa village and joined in on a Wa celebration.

How many times should one come to Yunnan in a lifetime? Shi Chengbin, also an experience officer, has been to the province 23 times, and he wishes he could come back 456 times. He is most satisfied with the “one-click complaint” feature of the APP. When he learned that tourists can make complaints three ways, online, through voice and telephone, he immediately downloaded the APP on his mobile phone. When he discovered that he could then track the complaint handling progress in real-time and check the results of the process within 24 hours, he gave the “Travel in Yunnan” App thumbs-up.
