From May 25th to June 3rd, the 2025 "Discovery of Wonderful Guangdong" FAM (short for "familiarization") trip for French travel agents in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) was successfully held. Nearly 20 French travel agents embarked on a "multi-stop journey" to visit GBA cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Chaozhou, Hong Kong, and Macao, exploring "Vibrant Guangdong, Fashionable Bay Area".
Chaozhou left the deepest impression on the French travel agents. They explored the historic Guangji Bridge, strolled through the Chaozhou ancient city, and experienced traditional crafts such as Chaozhou embroidery. Estée COGNEAU, a French travel consultant, expressed her astonishment at the Guangji Bridge's classical charm and mechanical ingenuity, noting its potential appeal to French tourists. The General Manager of the French travel agency UGOTravel was inspired to design in-depth cultural tours of the Chaoshan region after trying the Yingge dance.
In Shenzhen, the fusion of technology and cultural tourism redefined the agents' perceptions. Paloma Esther Levy marveled at the drone-delivered meals, describing the experience as "beyond imagination." Jean Paul PRINGAULT was particularly impressed by the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum, prompting plans to incorporate Shenzhen into future travel itineraries.
The tour coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival, allowing the French guests to partake in unique local celebrations. They experienced the thrill of dragon boat races in Macao, handpicked lychees in Zhuhai's ancient Huitong Village, and savored traditional "dragon boat rice" in Guangzhou's Liede Village. Wu Na, head of the Guangdong Overseas Tourism Promotion Center, highlighted the allure of Lingnan culture, urban ambiance, and culinary delights for French visitors. Additionally, cultural and creative products from Guangzhou and Chaozhou attracted interest from the travel agents for potential procurement.
As of June 1st, 2025, China has implemented a visa-free policy for citizens of 47 countries, allowing them to enter without a visa for up to 30 days. The organizer stated that this FAM trip leveraged the 30-day visa-free policy, significantly enhancing travel convenience compared to the past.
发现精彩广东，法国人直呼“超出想象”
5月25日至6月3日，2025法国旅行商粤港澳大湾区踩线——发现精彩广东活动成功举办。近20位法国旅行商以“一程多站”方式，走访广州、深圳、珠海、潮州、香港、澳门等湾区城市，体验“活力广东 时尚湾区”。
潮州是令法国旅行商印象最深的一站。他们打卡广济桥、逛潮州古城，体验潮绣等传统工艺。广济桥的古典风韵与“开合”功能让法国旅行顾问Estée COGNEAU震撼，她想将这座全球最早的启闭式桥梁介绍给法国游客。悠自游法国旅行定制社总经理简杰学跳英歌后，也表示将设计潮汕文化深度游线路。
在深圳，科技与文旅的融合颠覆了旅行商认知。潘若梦体验无人机送餐惊叹“远超想象”，Jean Paul PRINGAULT对深圳科学技术馆印象深刻，计划调整线路加入深圳。
活动承办方还结合端午节庆，安排本土限定体验。在澳门感受龙舟赛激情，在珠海会同古村摘荔枝，在广州猎德村吃龙船饭。广东文旅海外推广中心负责人吴娜称，岭南文化、都市氛围和美食对法国人很有吸引力。此外，广州、潮州的文创品也吸引旅行商采购。
截至2025年6月1日，中国单方面对47个国家的公民实施免签政策，允许其在不超过30天的期限内免签入境。主办方表示，此次踩线团正是利用30天入境免签政策，旅行便利性较过去大幅提升。
