大年初一上百国人包邮轮游南极参观长城站|南极|旅游|邮伦_新闻资讯
南都讯 遥远、美丽、孤独、神秘的南极洲，不仅是科学考察圣地，也是人们向往的旅游天堂。在国际社会开展南极旅游半个多世纪以后，随着中国经济发展，人民生活水平提高，南极旅游近年来在中国高端旅游市场悄然兴起。
1月31日，一个上百人的大型中国旅游团来到南极长城站参观旅游。尽管正在长城站码头紧张卸货的长城站科学考察队员任务很重，但还是安排了专人接待。游客们从邮轮上分批乘坐橡皮艇登陆长城站，兴奋地同科考队员打招呼、合影留念、盖纪念邮戳，有的游客还专门给长城站带来了纪念品。
游客们告诉记者，他们是参加国内一家企业赞助的南极活动，因此年轻人很多。旅游团先坐飞机到阿根廷乌斯怀亚，然后包了一艘外国邮轮到南极旅游。
据长城站越冬队员介绍，每年南极夏季，长城站至少要接待数千名中外游客，近年来中国游客越来越多。接不接待、如何接待很多时候很为难。祖国同胞千里迢迢来到南极，从感情上来说热烈欢迎。但考察站毕竟不同于旅游景点，国内对南极旅游也没有明确说法，只好灵活处理。
到目前为止，中国政府并未将南极洲列入中国公民的旅游目的地，相关管理条例也尚未出台。政府管理南极旅游无法可依，企业发展南极旅游无章可循。与此同时，庞大的市场需求已经使中国成为到南极旅游人数增长最快的国家。
据上海市因私出入境服务行业协会副会长高杰介绍，近年来，受国际金融危机影响，许多国家到南极旅游的人数都有所下降，南极邮轮公司已将目标市场转向中国。
国家海洋局极地考察办公室相关负责人认为，南极旅游反映了一个国家的经济发展水平。往年，南极游客主要来自美国、澳大利亚、日本等发达国家。随着中国经济发展，到南极旅游的人数还将不断增多。但南极旅游比较特殊，不仅有一定敏感性，还给南极环境保护带来压力，而且旅游风险也很大，国家有关部门之间加强合作、有序引导、规范管理已显得刻不容缓。 新华
