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？

岑：目前飛普吉島的旅客呈現如下特點：北上廣深四個城市多為散客自由行；其他人口大省如河南、湖南、四川等團隊客源不少。南航也因此提供了差異化的產品，比如針對廣州、深圳等地主要推出“機+酒”自由行產品；在長沙、鄭州、貴陽、沈陽等航線推出系列團隊產品。未來會考慮面向中國的高端消費群體提供定制化的深度體驗產品。

Q2：相比其他航空公司，南航的優勢在哪里？

岑：南航的優勢在于通航城市多，航班量大，旅客選擇多。南航目前已開通了廣州、深圳、長沙、武漢、鄭州、貴陽、沈陽至普吉島的直達航班，每周共運行68班次。憑借南航在國內強大的航線網絡，旅客可從全國各主要城市出發，基本當天就可以到達普吉島。

Q3:對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，建議準備適量的防暑藥品和防曬霜。簽證方面，普吉島機場可現場辦理旅游落地簽。但由于辦理人數很多，建議還是提前在國內辦好簽證。

Q4： 請為赴普吉旅游的旅客，推薦最有品質保證的預訂航空旅行產品、了解信息的渠道。

岑：預訂航空旅行產品首選南航假期（網址http://www.csairholiday.com/），可提供種類豐富的自由行產品，并有專人高效服務。 了解當地旅游信息的渠道：當地兩大主流旅行社：SWEETLAND（服務電話：+6676-346-923）和SOUTHSERVICE（服務電話：+6676-211-432），提供普吉島本島及附近離島的旅游產品。
