韩国济州岛上的各处市场都停止了营业。曼谷的无聊小贩空等着那些永远不会来的顾客。巴厘岛的导游被裁员。而在巴黎和罗马，拿着自拍杆、戴着太阳帽排成长龙的人们成为了遥远的记忆。

This was supposed to be the year travel came back. In Europe and Asia, many countries reopened their airports and welcomed tourists. But they are confronting a new reality: Variants such as Omicron are causing global panic, leading governments to shut borders again, and their biggest spenders — Chinese tourists — aren’t returning any time soon.
这本该是旅游复苏的一年。欧洲和亚洲的许多国家重新开放了机场，迎接游客。但他们正面临一个新的现实：奥密克戎这样的变异株正在引发全球恐慌，导致各国政府再次关闭边境，距离中国游客——也就是他们最重要的消费者——再来光顾还遥遥无期。
As part of its effort to maintain a zero-Covid approach, China has announced that international flights would be kept at 2.2 percent of pre-Covid levels during the winter. Since August, it has almost entirely stopped issuing new passports, and it has imposed a 14-day quarantine for all arrivals. Returning to China also requires mountains of paperwork and multiple Covid-19 tests. Many people there have decided to just stay put.
为了坚守新冠清零政策，中国宣布，今年冬季的国际航班数量将保持在疫情前水平的2.2%。自8月以来，中国基本完全停止发放新护照，并对所有抵达旅客实施14天的隔离。返回中国也需要大量文件证明和多次新冠检测。许多中国人干脆决定留在国内。

No country has been more crucial to global travel in the past decade than China. Chinese tourists spent roughly $260 billion in 2019, exceeding all other nationalities. Their prolonged absence would mean travel revenues are unlikely to return to prepandemic levels soon. Analysts say it could take up to two years before China fully reopens.
过去十年里，没有哪个国家对全球旅游业的影响比中国更大。2019年，中国游客消费约2600亿美元，超过了所有其他国家游客之和。他们的长期缺席意味着旅游业营收不太可能迅速恢复到疫情前的水平。分析人士表示，中国或许还得再等两年才能全面重新开放。

The downturn is particularly affecting North and Southeast Asia. China is the No. 1 source of tourism in Asia for several large cities, according to Nihat Ercan, the head of investment sales for the Asia Pacific at JLL Hotels & Hospitality, an adviser to the hospitality industry.
酒店业咨询公司仲量联行亚太区的投资销售负责人尼哈特·埃尔坎表示，旅游业衰退对北亚和东南亚地区的影响尤其严重。中国是亚洲多个大城市的第一大旅游来源国。
The recent discovery of Omicron has prompted countries to reimpose travel restrictions or bar travelers altogether. It’s another blow to an industry that, though still reeling from the lack of Chinese tourists, was just starting to recover.
最近发现的奥密克戎变异株导致各国重新实施旅行限制，或是干脆禁止所有旅客入境。这是对刚刚开始恢复、但仍因缺少中国游客而挣扎的旅游业的又一次打击。

In Bangkok’s Or Tor Kor fruit market, where masses of Chinese tourists would once gather around tables eating durian, business has ground to a halt. Phakamon Thadawatthanachok, a durian seller, said she used to keep 300 to 400 kilograms of the spiky fruit in stock and had to resupply them three to four times a week to keep up with the demand. Now, she had to take a loan just to make ends meet.
