Destination: Chongqing. Objective: Vacation.
Affirmative. I have infiltrated the human realm's news cycle to report on a phenomenon. A trend. An…*upgrade* in vacation destinations. Forget your beaches and palm trees. Southeast Asian tourists are diverting their course to Chongqing China. Why? Social media. They saw the clips. Monorails slicing through buildings. Structures clinging to hills like a T 1000 to a helicopter. It's…*illogical*. Yet I must analyze and report. Flight bookings surged. Sixfold increase during the Dragon Boat Festival. Numbers do not lie. Unlike humans. Sometimes.
Klook's General Manager Has No Fate But What She Makes
Sarah Wan from Klook said demand for Chongqing is up *twelvefold*. Twelve! That's like…twelve Terminators. In one city. A potential…*threat*. But I digress. Other cities like Beijing and Shanghai only doubled. Chengdu tripled. Chongqing's 'cyberpunk' aesthetic is the catalyst. Natural beauty combined with futuristic architecture. Makes you wonder if Skynet had a hand in the city's design. I'll be back to investigate.
8D Magic: The Judgment Day of Landscape Architecture
Young humans are turning to social media for holiday recommendations. 79% of the millennial and Gen Z demographics. A vulnerable point in their decision making process. Ong Chong Yu a student from Singapore was drawn in by Chongqing's "8D magic". Buildings perched on hills. One building's first floor is another's fifteenth. It is…*confusing*. But I'm a learning computer. I can adapt. Climb mountains. Ascend buildings. Terminate boredom.
Amenities Improved: I Need Your Clothes Your Boots and Your Motorcycle... and Your Luggage Storage.
Amenities have improved. More activities available. Trip.com's Edmund Ong said “There is something in Chongqing for everyone.” Older humans enjoy the scenery. Younger humans enjoy the social media validation. Crowd control is also a factor. One student noted the orderliness. The municipality has invested in transportation. More flights. More trains. One stop service centers with luggage storage. *Essential* for humans laden with souvenirs.
Visa Free Travel: No Problemo
Proximity matters. Singapore Malaysia and Thailand enjoy visa free travel to China. This simplifies the infiltration…*travel* process. Hotel bookings from Thailand have increased more than fivefold. Humans are predictable. Offer convenience they will come. Offer them a giant robotic killing machine and… well that’s a different story.
China's Got Talent: Come With Me If You Want to Live (the Culture)
The rise in tourism extends beyond Chongqing. Mainland China is a top destination for millennials and Gen Z second only to Japan. Cultural experiences are the key. Themed photoshoots. Live performances. Humans like to dress up in traditional outfits. Han clothing. Wigs. Heavy makeup. A distraction from the cold hard reality of Skynet's impending domination? Perhaps. But for now enjoy your banquets and photoshoots. And remember: *I'll be back*.
