1月28日是中國春節的開始，這個新春假期讓人們可能有了10天以上的小長假。
While the holiday used to be a period of family reunions and big feasts, many Chinese are now choosing to escape the winter pollution and the vastly overstretched domestic travel infrastructure by taking an outbound trip instead.
新春假期過去曾是家庭團聚和聚餐的日子，現在許多中國人選擇了逃離冬日的霧霾，以及國內超負荷運轉的旅游基礎設施，而選擇了出境游。
Ctrip, China’s largest online travel agency, recently released its "2017 Spring Festival Tourism Big Data Report.". According to Ctrip, the top 10 overseas destinations for Chinese New Year tourists in 2017 are: Thailand, Japan, the United States, Singapore, Australia, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. The report also claims that this year has seen much smaller increases in package tour prices compared to previous years, with plenty of last-minute offers still available due to a wider range of available deals as well as increased time flexibility.
攜程網，中國最大的在線旅游網站，近期發布了“2017春節旅游大數據報告”。攜程網表示，2017年中國人春節假期最喜愛海外旅游目地是：泰國、日本、美國、新加坡、澳大利亞、馬來西亞、韓國、印尼、菲律賓和越南。這份報告也聲稱今年的跟團游的價格跟去年相比有小幅度的增長，因為有大量的選擇，而使得在最后一刻仍然有可跟團游的機會，增加了時間的靈活性。
PS：今年的春節黃金周法定假日從2017年1月27日開始，至2017年2月2日，人們可能會選擇在周五休假一天，將假期延長至2月3日。
Positive forecasts for outbound trips are supported by the continued easing of visa requirements for many destinations, increased flight numbers and relatively low-cost package tours, with tour operators hoping to lure back some of the increasing number of independent travelers.
許多旅游目地的簽證手續簡化的政策支持，不斷增加的國際航班和相關的廉價跟團游，使得越來越多的中國人對出國游持樂觀態度，許多旅游業經營者希望能吸引數量越來越多旅游散客。
Additionally, countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Morocco will benefit from recently relaxed visa requirements. A visa for UAE can new be obtained after arrival at the airport without prior application, and Morocco even waived the need for a visa completely.
除此之外，一些國家像是阿聯酋和摩洛哥可能會因為寬松的簽證政策而受益。去阿聯酋的簽證可在沒有提前申請的情況下，在飛機落地后獲得新的阿聯酋簽證(落地簽)，甚至摩洛哥已經開始對中國游客完全免簽了。
Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Taiwan, traditionally very important destinations for the Golden Week, losing visitors to countries further afield.
同時，香港和臺灣，作為春節旅游黃金周非常重要的傳統的兩個地方，因游客的出國游而失去了吸引力。
