今年是三峡大坝蓄水后的第二年,应该说也是三峡旅游的“黄金年”。但来自重庆市水路客运市场管理部门的统计数据显示,在刚刚结束的夏季旅游中,从重庆港发往长江干线的旅客数。与前年同比每天出港人数减少三千三百人左右,与去年非典后的旅游市场同比也有较大幅度下降,有近70%的三峡旅游船停运,三峡旅游跌入了14年以来的最低谷。 This year is the second year after the Three Gorges Dam is impounded. It should be said that it is also the “golden year” for the Three Gorges Tourism. However, statistics from the Chongqing Passenger Transport Market Management Department show that the number of tourists traveling from Chongqing to the Yangtze River at the summer tour just concluded. Compared with the same period of last year, the daily departures from Hong Kong dropped by about 3,300. Compared with the tourist market after last year’s SARS, the number of departures also dropped sharply. Nearly 70% of the Three Gorges tourist ships were out of service and the Three Gorges tourism fell to its lowest level in 14 years .
