Different from Brazil, as the world's most popular tourist spot, France holding the Euro Cup was definitely a great opportunity for soccer fans and travel buffs.
For the benefit of Chinese fans, French embassy introduced a more convenient visa policy during the event, with Chinese tourists requiring only passport, ID card, financial certificate, and the game ticket and were guaranteed to get the visa within 48 hours.
According to the statistics released by Ctrip.com, Chinese tourists who booked the travel products which combined traveling with games-watching during the 2016 Euro Cup increased by five times more than that during the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
Ctrip said that routes combining game tickets with DIY tours were most popular, especially those containing semi-final and final tickets, which were sold out in one day immediately after they were put online.
Staff member of Ali Travel said that during the 2016 Euro Cup, Ali not only provided game tickets, hotel and shuttle service, but also jersey selling service.
