News: Germany plans to start in the second quarter of 2005, taking the lead in Beijing and Shanghai as a pilot project, trying to introduce a unique personal tourist visa, which is different from the ADS visa types currently operated by travel agencies. It will allow Chinese tourists to travel freely to Germany.

The implementation of this measure will break the current travel to Europe.

With the harsh restrictions, the long awaited era of European free travel is coming.

Germany

The first to break the 5 person restriction

From the start of European open group tours, the prerequisites for European countries to issue ADS visas are 5 or more people.

This time, the personal travel visa issued by Germany will not be restricted. Tourists can apply directly to the embassy without travel agency.

Based on this visa measure, the German Tourism Bureau also plans to launch the first truly free travel special product for business travellers and white-collar workers in big cities based on the ticket and the hotel's self driving or train pass, so as to take the lead in promoting the "free travel" formula and further develop the deep Tourism in Germany.

New visa Schengen country effective

According to the measure of the German tourism board, there have been media reports that this personal travel visa is not a ADS visa, so tourists will not be able to enjoy the convenience of ADS visa for European Schengen countries, and only travel in Germany.

In response to this statement, the reporter interviewed Xu Shengli, Beijing representative of the German Tourism Bureau. He pointed out that although the visa is not a ADS visa, it is still valid in European Schengen countries, and can also travel to other European countries in Schengen. In addition, this personal travel visa is not the same as the applicant, and the maximum length of visa time will be no more than 30 days.

How much does it cost to go free?

Compared to the "semi self service" products that exist in the market, the coming German freedom will be truly "free travel". Therefore, the travel expenses will be generated entirely according to the tourists' own arrangements, which will make a huge difference in the length of travel time, the choice of pportation modes and the different accommodation conditions.

In this regard, Xu Shengli suggested that in Germany, self travel, excluding long-distance pportation and accommodation costs, other costs generally 40 euros per day is enough.

In addition, Xu Shengli also said that the German Tourism Bureau will carry out more fully free product development in the spring of 2005, and strive to provide tourists with multi-level choice of pportation accommodation menu.
