According to the news, how visa fee influences tourists' behavior ? If you were the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau, what will you do with your visa fee given the economic hardship at the moment?

London is losing out on lucrative Chinese tourist visits “every minute” because of Britain’s bureaucratic and expensive visa process, a leading tour operator has warned.

Yu Ning Ning, president of China International Travel Service, the country’s most powerful tour operator, said tourists find it easier to go to European countries covered by the single Schengen visa rather than London. Her company, which runs 800 travel agencies, brings fewer than 10,000 tourists to Britain a year from a total customer base of 3.2 million. Chinese visitors usually want to visit a number of European countries and can do that on the Schengen visa. If they want to include London they have to go through a laborious separate application for a UK visa. Ms Yu said “If I want to send 1,000 people [to the UK] I have to send buses [to a visa processing centre]. This is really causing problems. Every minute you are losing business.” Improvements announced last year by the Home Office have made little difference in persuading major tour companies to include the UK on travel itineraries, she added. Asked if she had detected any improvement, Ms Yu replied: “Not much.” She said: “The UK visa is not a cheap visa, it’s a more expensive visa,” adding that the British system is even more complicated than the US process for Chinese visitors. Ms Yu, who was in London for a conference organised by the British Hospitality Association, said her tour operator will continue to avoid sending large groups to the UK until there are substantial improvements. Another frequent complaint is the inadequate facilities at UK airports to reclaim tax on purchases. Apart from Heathrow, most UK airports only have a post box where Chinese visitors can submit claims, unlike in Europe where most airports have help desks, said Ms Yu. A Home Office spokesman said: “China is one of the UK’s priority markets for tourism and business. Our Chinese visa system provides an excellent service and we will continue to make improvements wherever possible, but we will not compromise the security of our border.” - See more at: http://www.asiancemagazine.com/node/90406#sthash.l51xjgmE.dpuf

  2. - The most traveler want to travel with lowest budget visa fee too. Everybody feel not want to go there if they're have to pay money a lot and many process with visa fee and hard to get the visa. UK is a country it's have many process visa fee difference other country is use Schengen visa that's make the UK losing revenue & tourists.
    - If i were the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau I would change the process to giving visa by included the UK into Schengen visa, that could be easier to get the visa but It's hard and impossible because the UK currency is difference the country use Schengen visa. by the way we can adjusting for currency of visa fee reasonable along with the domestic economy.

  8. 1.Tourist requirements visa with inexpensive and convenient as possible. If the price is too expensive visa fees may be reduced by the number of tourists. As a result, the country lacks a lot of revenue from tourism.
    2. If i were the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau  I will reduce visa fees. The income from tourism is the main income of the country received maximum each year. If the visa may be less tourists visiting the country. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the visa fee to the country's revenue from the increase.

  11. -To apply for a visa is very difficult make tourists don't want to go out. Because people don't want to see frustration. And the visa to enter the country is too expensive. A visa each time when trouble have for a long time may cause more change to going out for another country, the country lost income. The utility business hotel and tour.

    -If a director of tourism office. I think it might reduce visa. So tourists could be the man to travel at least can visit. Attract tourists and long term come back frequently. The visa difficulties that may be less complicated. Because each country visa is different. This visa must adjust the price according to state economy in the country.

  12. Visa fee or as part of a group of factors that come into the country.
    If the visa fee will result in lower prices to increase growth and the income will be decrease.
    Different visas and will result in a higher fee,will affect a little trip into the country and the lack of income.

    In my opinion, if i were the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau, I will you do legislation to be fair both to the safety of the tourists and their country and other countries too. For example diagnosis all diseases cause of pathogen may be lead to other people from human kind. Moreover check their background of traveler to safety and more reliable. Finally although aid visa to UK very expensive it may be as the best foe wait to visiting.

  21. - Visa fee is necessary for every tourist. It affect to them for decision to travel or business. If it worthwhile for their travel, it easier to determine more than expensive visa.
    - If I was the director of the Visit Britain Tourism Bureau. I would improve the visa process, such as reduce a visa fee, change visa process to simplify, increase facilities at the airport to help and protect the claims for visitors. I would construct a good relationship with other countries and develop service to make visitor impress to my country. I think if I do this succeed, economic in my country will going to be good.

  22. - Obviously (as the article above mentions) economic times are somewhat tough at the moment. So, of course if a countries VISA fee is too high then some travelers might reconsider travelling to that particular country & go elsewhere where VISA fees are lower. In saying all that, generally speaking - airfares, transportation & hotel prices haven't dropped, so if people can afford to pay all that then a US$30 / $50 OR $100 VISA fee shouldn't be a problem.

    - If I was the Director of Visit Britain Tourist Bureau & was aware of the fact that e.g. Chinese Tourists are leaving the UK out of their "European Trip" because of high VISA fees & a complicated VISA process then of course I would (1) consider reducing the fee and (2) simplifying the VISA application process. Both, no doubt will encourage more people to travel to the UK (in particular the massive Chinese market).

  25. - Visa is important if you want to travel in Europe. However, if it's expensive, it can be affect too. Because the most travelers don't want to pay a lot of money. They will feel don't want to go if it hard and high price to get visa. So, it can be losing traveler

    - If I were the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau I would reduce the price. Because if it's cheaper than ever traveler can save their money and they don't feel that it's hard to get visa. In my opinion, Traveler will come much more than ever and also it can recover the economy too.

If have the complicated and must pay the fee very expensive that make the tourists don't want to go to UK but choose to go to other country in Europe .Because easy to make visa and cheap than go to UK. So, that make UK lose revenue from number of Chinese tourists.
    - if I am the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau I will adjust the fee for visa be in line with the economy's country and I will modify the process of visa that the tourists can make easy. All of reason that will attract more Chinese tourists to come to UK and make them comfortable .

  29. I think that the visa fee should not make a difference. It is more the inconvenience of the process. The fee is small compared to the cost of travel and accommodation and spending money. But it is more convenient to include another Schengen country rather than visit UK which is unwilling to compromise its border security.

  30. As far as I am concerned, the visa fee affects tourist behavior in many ways. For instance, the tourists may not visit the country where they want to go, and they probably ban the country for charging them too high. These cause the revenue loss and may lead to lacking money circulation in the country.

    If I had a chance to be the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau, I would reduce the fee rate to be flexible with the economy right now. Once it gets better, I may charger a bit more expensive but not too high like it is.

  34. 1.The UK visa pretty expensive for Chinese visitors,who would like to visit England.Therefore,Chinese visitors change their mind to visit another European countries or make a new plan to travel.In short, the UK visa effect Chinese tourists nowadays.

    2.If I were the director of visit Britain,I would reduce the visa fee or the visitor could go to without a visa.I thought when tourists come to a country,they help to increase the economic by buying stuffs,food or so and renting hotel. This ways I strongly believe that could improve the economic hardship at this moment.

If countries with a visa that is too hard to make the number of tourists has decreased. This will affect the tour revenues of that country.

  61. Well, If i were the Director of British Tourism Bureau, I would consider reducing the visa fee since the the economic hardership right now as there are opportunities since people who have got the Schengen visa can also along goes to England. That is a good thing that people could enter the country easier so that they could be some outside money coming in to the country. As those who have Schengen visa which mean that they have been through the process which these people are safe and will not be a ROBONHOOD so dropping down the fees and procedure is good chance for more tourist attraction to England. Its a win win situation, promoting beautiful country and also money flowing in from tourist because these people have buying power.

  65. Absolutely, visa fee will affect to tourist behaviour. Everyone don't want to pay more money but bureaucratic process give more effect than visa fee.
    If I'm a director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau, I'll push Britain to be member of Schengen visa. Visa fee to visit Britain is 3900 Baht, it's not expensive. I may or may not reduce visa fee because I think it is less effect.

  69. -In my opinion, the charge of visa is one of the factors that tourist will decided for their travelling. For example, if the charge of visa in the United Kingdom is too expensive for short holiday, they will choose Schengen visa which cover European countries. This is the main factor that belongs to tourists who don’t like a complicated and expensive visa. So in the present Chinese traveller choose to travel in European countries more than the United Kingdom.

    -If I were the director of ‘visit Britain tourism bureau’, I think I arrange the meeting and offer about reduce of visa charging that is too expensive. If the visa charging was reducing, the number of tourists will visit and make more income for our country.

They're bored and don't want to visit Britain because they're have to pay a lot of money for expensive visa and bureaucratic visa process. They will turn to visit other countries in Europe instead. That mean UK is losing tourism revenue because of complex visa application procedures.

    - If i were the Director of Visit Britain Tourism Bureau. I'll change visa process and sign up to Schengen agreement.
