2016年中國春運預(yù)計發(fā)送旅客29.1億人次

It is predicted that China will greet 2.91 billion passengers during the Spring Festivaltravel season of 2016, an increase of 3.6 percent from the previous year, said LianWeiliang, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission on Jan. 19, 2016.

中國國家發(fā)展和改革委員會副主任連維良于2016年1月19日表示，2016年中國春運預(yù)計發(fā)送旅客29.1億人次，同比上年增長3.6%。

Lian also pointed out six characteristics of 2016 Spring Festival travel, and stressed thearduousness of planning for the season during a videophone conference.

在全國春運電視電話會議上，連維良表示，今年春運呈現(xiàn)六大特點，春運任務(wù)依舊艱巨。

First, the number of passengers keeps growing, increasing by 100 million from 2015, whichincreases the challenges of transport capacity and service guarantees.

第一，旅客人數(shù)不斷增加，自2015年起增長了1億人次，這加大了運輸能力和服務(wù)保障的難度。

Second, despite the fact that 20 high-speed rails have been put into operation in the lastyear, and the operation mileage of national high-speed rails has reached 19,000kilometers, it is still hard for people to get tickets to hot destinations during peak hours.

第二，盡管去年20條高速鐵路投入運行，但全國高鐵運行里程已達19000公里，人們?nèi)院茈y拿到高峰時段去熱點地區(qū)的機票。

Third, with the improvement of people’s living standards, there has been a rapid growth ofdemand for air travel. During Spring Festival travel this year, an average of 11,700 flightsare scheduled for each day—an increase of 14.3 percent from last year. But the airports ofmajor cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, are already close tocapacity, and are sure to see a sharp rise in the coming weeks.

第三，隨著人們生活水平的提高，人們對航空旅行的需求迅速增長。今年春節(jié)旅游期間，平均每天有11700次航班，與去年相比增加了14.3%。但主要城市的機場，如北京、上海、廣州和深圳，機場容量已經(jīng)接近飽和，而且在未來幾周內(nèi)肯定會大幅增長。

Fourth, people have more demand for personalized and diversified services. No longermerely satisfied by getting tickets, passengers have more expectations of what it means totravel well. These upgraded expectations will become the new normal when it comes totravel demand.

第四，人們對服務(wù)的要求更加個性化和多樣化。不再僅僅滿足于獲得車票，乘客對更好的旅行有著更多的期望。當(dāng)涉及到旅游需求時，這些升級的期望將成為新的常態(tài)。

Fifth, a number of severe accidents have happened in the recent past, which necessitatechanges and add stress to the overall security situation.

第五，最近發(fā)生了多起重大的安全事故，這需要改變并強調(diào)整體安全狀況。

Sixth, the strong El Ni?o phenomenon will appear this winter, according to meteorologicalpredictions. Spring Festival travel faces even greater challenges when temperatures dropand snowy weather occurs in the northern regions. Heavy rain will also hit the southernregions of China, and there will be heavy haze days in the northern regions, such as Huang-Huai, Yangtze River and Huai River areas.

第六、根據(jù)氣象預(yù)測，今年冬天極強的厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象將會出現(xiàn)。當(dāng)氣溫下降和北部地區(qū)出現(xiàn)下雪天氣時，春節(jié)旅游面臨更大的挑戰(zhàn)。暴雨也會襲擊中國南部地區(qū)，且如黃淮、長江和淮河流域等北部地區(qū)將出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重的霧霾天氣。

The top priority should be security this year, and all departments should strive to bringabout a safe, warm and faithful Spring Festival travel season.

今年首要的任務(wù)應(yīng)該是安全，所有部門都要努力打造一個“平安、溫馨、誠信”的春運。
