无拍照不假期!千禧一代热衷“朋友圈旅游”

分类: 英语美文 

While holidays for young people used to be about sun, sex and alcohol, millennials are now choosing to travel depending on how Instagram-friendly a place is.

过去年轻人度假时爱晒日光浴,享受与伴侣的亲密时光,再喝上几杯,而如今千禧一代选择旅行地点时,要看这里在Ins上是否“上相”。

The rise of the so-called 'ego traveller' has seen travel companies come up with packages sold around getting the perfect snaps.

为迎合这些“自我旅行者”,旅行社推出了以拍摄完美旅行照片为卖点的旅行套餐。

无拍照不假期!千禧一代热衷“朋友圈旅游”

US-based company Contiki, which offers holiday packages for 18 to 35 year-olds, has launched a new Snap Canada tour - promising travellers 'endless Insta opportunities'.

美国旅行社康智奇的目标客户是18岁到35岁的游客。这家旅行社最新推出“拍摄加拿大”之旅,保证旅行者能拍到“无数张可以晒在Ins上的照片”。

Meanwhile, other travel companies, including El Camino Travel, Shoot My Travel and Flytographer, offer professional photographers to help you document your holiday.

无独有偶,其他多家旅行社也为旅行团配备了职业摄影师,帮大家用照片留下假期记忆,比如艾尔-卡米诺旅行社、拍摄行程旅行社和自由翱翔旅行社。

Many of the companies have their own glossy Instagram feeds to promote their holiday packages, sharing stunning shots of their travellers in a range of exotic destinations.

多家旅行社在Ins上发布光鲜的消息来推广旅行套餐,和粉丝分享游客们在众多国外旅行地拍摄的精美照片。

UK-based tour operator Thomas Cook found that more than half of 18 to 25 year-olds say social media plays a factor when picking a hotel - a trend they call 'ego travel', and are abandoning the party packages previously favoured by young people.

英国托马斯-库克旅行社发现,18岁到25岁的年轻人中超过一半认为挑选酒店时社交媒体是一个重要的考虑因素,他们称之为“自我旅行”。之前年轻人中流行的派对旅行已经被抛弃。

Explaining the changing holiday trends among young people, travel expert Cathy Thompson, from Hostel World, told The Times: '[Millenials] want to have done things a little bit for the bragging rights and to share it on social media.'

国际青年旅社的旅行专家凯西-汤普森接受《泰晤士报》采访时解释了年轻人度假风潮的变化。她说:“千禧一代想要做点儿什么来炫耀自己,还要分享到社交媒体上。”

Meanwhile, Anna Vine - who is Contiki's head of marketing, UK and Europe - told the newspaper: 'Millennials are incredibly passionate about travel and have a desire for a social experience defined by spending time with other travellers or locals in an authentic and serendipitous way.'

康智奇旅行社英国及欧洲部市场总监安娜-维内接受该报采访时说:“千禧一代非常热衷于旅游,希望在旅行中获得与其他游客或当地人共享时光的真实体验,再来点儿意外收获。”

Contiki organises holidays in far-flung locations around the world, including Thailand, India, Peru and New Zealand.

康智奇旅行社的旅行目的地遍布全球,包括泰国、印度、秘鲁和新西兰。

However, it's not just exotic destinations that are making the most of Instagram travellers.

但能够吸引大量Ins旅行者的并非只有异国他乡。

Visit Scotland announced last autumn that it was launching a #ScotSpirit Instagram Travel Agency to allow tourists to base their visits to Scotland purely around other people's Instagram pictures.

苏格兰旅游局去年秋季宣布成立#苏格兰精神Ins旅行社,游客可以完全依照其他人的Ins图片来游览。

Charlie Smith, Director of Marketing from VisitScotland commented: 'We’re proud of the fact that VisitScotland has the biggest tourism Instagram account in Europe, with over 370,000 followers.

苏格兰旅游局市场总监查理-史密斯评论说:“苏格兰旅游局的Ins粉丝在欧洲最多,超过37万,我们非常自豪。”

'People love our feed not only for the stunning photographs – often taken by our visitors - but also because they discover the immense and unexpected variety of things they can see and do in Scotland.'

“人们爱看我们发布的消息,不仅仅是因为绝美的图片(通常是游客拍摄的),还是因为他们发现在苏格兰,还可以见到这么多美景,做这么多意想不到的事情。”
