At the same time as the first summit of the Organization of Mineral Exporting Countries was held, He Xiao, who goes by the pseudonym Huang Chao, is on a multi-day road trip.

He was the only one, and the itinerary included the whole of Hawk Island.

Although today's Hawk Island, he created step by step, he has also seen the whole territory of Hawk Island countless times from the map, Blue Star Soaring, and also launched a Hawk Island travel map, you can visit the main tourist attractions of Hawk Island within 12 hours, as long as 800 pounds, very economical, especially for foreign tourists......

The main attractions of Hawk Island are also open to maps of single attractions, with prices ranging from £100 to £600, including Hawke Island's most famous attraction, the volcanic Tianchi Falls.

Last year, the number of tourists to Hawk Island's related attractions was 2.8 billion and the tourism revenue was as high as 420 billion pounds, while the number of tourists in the real attractions was only 27 million and the tourism revenue was 3.8 billion pounds......

Even if the real-life tourism industry is counted, it will also drive transportation, services, catering and other industries, but it will only increase the revenue by more than 10 billion pounds.

The difference between the two data is already tens or hundreds of times, which is very terrifying.

In fact, according to estimates, even if there is no full realistic tourism, the tourism industry of Hawk Island in reality, the number of tourists will not exceed 60 million, including the tourism-driven industry, the total income is only about 40 billion.

It's still ten times worse than the full simulation of tourism.

This ten times is basically purely incremental, that is to say, only a small part of the full simulation tourism industry is to grab the original tourism market, and most of them are increments brought by themselves.

In fact, it is also very easy to understand that there are indeed some tourists who originally wanted to come to Hawk Island, and finally chose to visit the real Hawk Island attractions in the Blue Star Ascension, but more tourists, in fact, have no time or money, and it is impossible to fly over tens of thousands of kilometers to travel to Hawk Island.

It is entirely the appearance of the Blue Star Ascension that gives them the opportunity to experience an experience that is very similar to reality at a low cost.

Even if the ticket is a little more expensive, it saves a lot of money for airfare, accommodation and meals.

Tourist attractions do not suffer losses, when Blue Star soars to go on a field trip, it will sign an agreement with the operator of the tourist attraction, and the tickets are divided, although it is certainly not as profitable as selling tickets themselves, but because the increase in tourists is too large, the income is still very considerable.

Usually tourist attractions can get 8%-10% of the full realistic tickets, which is far more than the income of real tickets.

In the beginning, many tourist attractions refused to sign agreements because they were worried about the impact on actual ticket revenues.

But it turns out that even if you don't sign an agreement, you will be affected......

Because others have signed, you don't sign, which is equivalent to giving up the market of full-reality tourism to other tourist attractions.

In the end, almost all the attractions rushed to join the Blue Star Ascension platform.

Even Yellowstone, which defaulted on the original one-sided reverse, has the cheekiness to ask to rejoin......

Because they found that after withdrawing, their actual ticket revenue did not rebound significantly, while other tourist attractions of the same level earned several times the ticket revenue on the platform......

In fact, just like the physical stores after the rise of online shopping, this is a dimensionality reduction blow.

You can't beat it at all, you either join, you can be eliminated, or you have a hard time maintaining it, and you can watch others make a lot of money......

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

What is really affected is some tourism-related industries, such as hotels and restaurants around scenic spots, because the number of tourists in reality has indeed decreased, and their business has indeed been affected.

During He Xiao's self-driving trip, he found that many hotels and restaurants in scenic spots were closed down, and only some popular attractions were in good locations to survive.

He is a pity, but he does not have too much self-blame, this phenomenon is not too much in history, technological progress always eliminates or affects some industries, there is nothing to blame.

Just like the application of the steam engine, it will inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of some handicraftsmen, and the development of the online shopping industry will inevitably lead to the impact of some physical stores and surrounding service industries.

And, at least on Hawke Island, these brick-and-mortar properties are partially compensated.

However, just as online shopping can never make all brick-and-mortar stores obsolete.

Even if the market size of the full simulation tourism industry is large and the efficiency is high, it is impossible to completely replace the real tourism, there are still some people who are rich and have enough time to take a look and take a walk in the real world.

It still feels a little different after all.

And there are many unpopular attractions, as well as attractions that are not attractions, which will not be displayed in the Blue Star Ascension Platform.

He Xiao wanted to see with his own eyes this world he had created.

Today's Hawke Island, through his repeated changes in scale, has continued to increase in area, and the area of the island has reached 840,000 square kilometers, surpassing the islands of Kalimantan and New Guinea, and second only to Greenland with 2.16 million square kilometers......

The shape is still sunglass-shaped, with a total length of about 1,700 kilometers from north to south, a width of about 700 kilometers from east to west, and the narrowest point in the middle, only 50 kilometers......

The island is divided into two parts, the northern part is dominated by tropical rainforest, and the southern part is dominated by urban and cultivated land.

Hawk City is the largest city, located in the southernmost part of Hawk Island, with a population of 5.2 million, accounting for about one-tenth of the entire Hawker Island, is the political, economic and financial center of Hawker Island, and is also the largest port.

The second largest city is Shangjiang City, with a population of 2.2 million, located in the center of Sunglasses Bay, only 20 kilometers away from the most famous attraction of Hawke Island, the volcano Tianchi Waterfall, which is a tourist and leisure city.

The name of the city clearly comes from the hero of Hawk Island, Admiral He Yuan.

The third largest city is Christina I, with a population of 1.8 million, located in the northernmost part of Hawker Island, the only large city in the north, and an important port city on Hawker Island, with extremely developed fishing and forestry.

The name of the city comes from the legendary Queen Christina I of the suzerainty, but in recent years, the independence sentiment on Hawk Island has been on the rise, and many islanders have changed the name of the city.

The topography of Hawke's Island, somewhat similar to that of Durham Bay Island, has a towering mountain range stretching from north to south, with open plains in the west and narrow plains along the eastern coast, with some cliffs directly on the coastline, which is also a famous tourist attraction......

Of course, the area of Hawk Island is much larger than that of Hawk Island, 20 times larger, so the plain area of Hawker Island is far larger than that of Stay Bay Island, and the southern plain of Hawk Island is the largest, with an area of 250,000 square kilometers.

The southern plains are also the most densely populated part of Hawker Island, where a large number of sugarcane fields and rice paddies were cultivated in the former Puguo and Tulip Countries, and it was the Eastern descendants of Hawker Island who immigrated from the eastern coast at that time......
