China is the biggest in tourism as well!

Saturday, April 23, 2011

For the present days China already is the world leader on outbound tourism – about 60 million of Chinese people annually leave the country boarders and by 2020, according to UNWTO forecast, this quantity will reach 100 million!

But, practically, we don’t see the Chinese tourists nether in cities of Uzbekistan nor in the countries of the Central Asia, and our direction still isn’t present on the map of the Chinese tourism.

How to attract them in our region?! Trying to find the answer to this question, already the third year successively the Top Management of OrexCA.com participates at the major professional tourism fair of China – COTTM 2011 (China Outbound Travel & Tourism Market), held this year in Beijing from April, 13 till April, 15.

COTTM is the specialized fair focused on China outbound tourism and only on segment B2B, so under the invitation of organizers tour operators from all “Heavenly Empire” come there.

During the exhibition seminars and mini-conferences representatives of different countries – participants of the exhibition discuss questions and have an opportunity to exchange experience on a hard and common target – what kind of value can be provided for Chinese tourists and how to perform the high quality service meeting their requirements.

The particular attention was attracted by annual presentation of COTRI (China Outbound Tourism Research Institute) the institute studying China outbound tourism and mostly by the leader and the founder of the given organization – Prof. Dr. Wolfgang George Arlt who have handed to the heads of OrexCA.com invaluable gift – the last edition of the analytical collection on China outbound tourism by China Tourism Academy – Annual Report of China Outbound Tourism Development 2009/2010.

No limit to perfection

Mrs. Muhamedzyanova Rimma, the auditor of TÜV International Certification has thoroughly tested all aspects of the system. To the delight and mostly to our surprise, deviation and comments from the requirements of the standard work for 2010 were not found and at the final meeting Mrs. Muhamedzyanova announced the verdict – the company will be recommended to extend the period of the certificate validity for another year. But this does not mean that we have already reached full and unconditional operation of the QMS. Indeed, one of the fundamental principles of our company is continuous improvement and perfection.

Meeting in Chinese Embassy

Friday, March 25, 2011

In the course of preparation for annual tourism fair in China COTTM 2011 (China Outbound Travel & Tourism Market) the Manager Business Development of OrexCA.com Dmitry Vidmanov has met Mrs. An Nin – the Second Secretary of the Embassy of the Peoples Republic of China in Uzbekistan.

During the meeting at the initiative of OrexCA.com such vital topic as the perception of Uzbekistan by the Chinese potential visitors was discussed. Discussion was hold on the basis of viewing of the presentation CD devoted to touristic potential of Uzbekistan, prepared by OrexCA.com Marketing Department.

As a result the following fact was established – Chinese people perceive our country, our sights and traditions very deeply and in a positive context. The given circumstance is a serious factor in motivation of potential tourists from China for planning the tour to Uzbekistan.

In the opinion of Mrs. An Nin, her compatriots can possibly be interested in following aspects of tourism potential of Uzbekistan:
- Monumental Islamic architecture of Samarkand and Bukhara;
- Deserted exotic yurta camps;
- National cuisine, shish kebabs as traditional meal for us but expensive and rare delicacy for Heavenly Empire;
- Wedding ceremonies and ceremonies of the national holiday of Navruz as Chinese people greatly respect family values and national traditions;
- Strawberries, sweet cherries and melons, and also other gifts of Uzbekistan nature which will lure inhabitants of Chinese megacities by natural sweetness and ecological purity.

In summary it is necessary to tell that the psychological portrait of the Chinese tourist still leaves much to be studied. Therefore such “explanatory work”, kindly made by employees of the Embassy of the Peoples Republic of China, allows representatives of Uzbekistan trabel business understand requirement of tourists from China better and, consequently, more purposively and effectively promote touristic potential of Uzbekistan in the largest outbound travel market of the world.

Study, training others!

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

The professional training system in OrexCA.com is well known for many in the tourist industry far outside of our Company. The introduced concept of permanent and compulsory training is aimed at continuous improvement in ways of carrying out work and the methods where senior (by experience) employees train younger, and those, in turn transfer the received knowledge and skills to newcomers. Due to this concept OrexCA.com constantly get inquiries on training people and we always try to accept trainees if only the reason of denial doesn’t serve as the absence of a workplace.

Why? Because we know, that only training someone, it is possible to realize and definitively fix in mind what you have already learnt.

Only from the beginning of 2011 three teachers from the Tashkent College of Tourism have already been trained, the employee of travel agency from the neighboring Tajikistan and the student from South Korea are passing the internship here this time.

In Our Company 2011 is declared as Year of Self-improvement, Standardization and Quality!

This year not only initiatives on continuous self-education are welcomed, but also it is planned to introduce a number of trained programs and projects, to create a corporate information database where beginner can easily find the information on the question he interested in, which was made on the basis of last experience of his colleagues, and by these means to achieve the maximum quality in given services, avoiding mistakes and providing the Guests with the maximum information.
