Chen Shengjun, a senior engineer of Zhejiang Meteorological Center, believes that people can avoid the typhoon wherever trees fall and houses are destroyed, but as long as the safety problem is solved and the typhoon is watched reasonably, it can also be developed into a characteristic tourism project. He believes that there are thousands of islands along the coast of Zhejiang, and there are more than 100 that can be developed for tourism, all of which can be used as places to watch typhoons.
Some experts in Zhejiang tourism industry basically agree with this strange idea. They think that "the journey of typhoon" is dangerous to some extent. At present, it is mainly the patent of adventure lovers and outdoor sports. In the future, with the improvement of safety protection facilities and typhoon forecasting mechanism, group watching typhoon will have broad market prospects. Combined with transportation and facilities, they also recommended Yuhuan in Taizhou and Zhujiajian Island Island in Zhoushan as the best places to watch typhoons.
However, Nanjing tourism industry experts pay more attention to the operability of "typhoon tour". Li Kaoshan, general manager of Jiangsu Jinling Business Travel Agency, said that after the typhoon was generated on the ocean near the Philippines, the direction was not very certain when it moved northward. Although it mainly landed in Fujian and Zhejiang, it often deviated from Shandong in the north and Guangxi in the south. This time, the landing of Typhoon Haitang has changed direction many times. Since it is difficult for tourists to determine where the typhoon landed, how to arrange the trip. There will also be errors in landing time, which is also an obstacle for travel agencies to organize groups. More importantly, the safety problem, the destructive power of the typhoon is too great, and no one can guarantee the safety problem by organizing mainland people who have not experienced the typhoon personally. After hearing this statement, a person from Shuntian Travel Agency even said that it was "too outrageous". Even if tourists buy insurance, they won't take risks. What's more, typhoons are three or four times a year, with small groups and high costs.
