一项全球航空调查发现，移民规则正让越来越多的航空旅客放弃前往某些目的地，而地缘政治紧张局势也在影响出行决策，尤其是在亚太地区。
Immigration rules are discouraging a growing number of air travellers from visiting certain destinations, a global aviation survey has found, while geopolitical tensions are also influencing travel decisions, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
国际航空运输协会（IATA，一个航空业组织）表示，其年度全球旅客调查显示，43%的受访者因移民要求而放弃前往某些目的地，高于去年的33%；而在因地缘政治冲突而放弃出行的受访者中，72%将安全担忧列为主要原因。
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), an airline industry body, said its annual Global Passenger Survey found that 43 per cent of respondents had been put off from visiting certain destinations by immigration requirements, up from 33 per cent last year, while 72 per cent of those deterred by geopolitical conflicts cited safety concerns as their main reason.
“旅客正在拥抱技术以让出行更便捷。然而，许多旅客仍面临复杂移民和签证流程设置的障碍，”IATA运营、安全与安保高级副总裁尼克·凯林（Nick Careen）表示。
“Passengers are embracing technology to make travel easier. Yet many travellers continue to face barriers from complex immigration and visa processes,” said Nick Careen, IATA’s senior vice-president for operations, safety and security.
这项2026年调查的结果基于来自200多个国家和地区的10000多份回复，于周三晚间在IATA于澳门举办的世界旅客研讨会上发布。
The findings of the 2026 survey, based on more than 10,000 responses from over 200 countries, were released on Wednesday evening at IATA’s World Passenger Symposium in Macau.
调查发现，49%的亚太地区受访者因移民要求而放弃出行，高于全球平均水平的43%。
The survey found that 49 per cent of Asia-Pacific respondents had been discouraged from travelling by immigration requirements, above the global average of 43 per cent.
凯林表示，该地区旅客也最有可能因地缘政治担忧而调整出行计划。
Careen said travellers in the region were also the most likely to adjust their travel plans because of geopolitical concerns.
在全球因移民要求而放弃出行的受访者中，53%将复杂程序列为主要原因，17%各自指出隐私担忧和费用问题。
Among respondents globally who were deterred by immigration requirements, 53 per cent cited complicated procedures as the main reason, while 17 per cent each pointed to privacy concerns and costs.
当天早些时候，凯林表示，他在过去一年中遇到了几个繁琐的签证申请流程，包括严格的照片要求、故障的网站以及必须重新开始的申请。他说，如果不是因公出行必须完成，他本不会完成其中一些申请。
Earlier in the day, Careen said he had encountered several cumbersome visa application processes over the past year, including strict photograph requirements, malfunctioning websites and applications that had to be restarted. He said he would not have completed some of the applications had he not been required to travel for work.
“政府出于显而易见的原因希望吸引游客。修正流程，就能增加收入。这再简单不过了，”他说。
“Governments want visitors for obvious reasons. Fix the process, and you increase your revenue. No-brainer,” he said.
Careen还指出，尽管26至40岁的旅客在使用数字旅行技术方面最为熟练，但他们对地缘政治紧张局势和复杂的入境要求特别敏感。
Careen also noted that travellers aged 26 to 40 were particularly sensitive to geopolitical tensions and complicated immigration requirements, despite being among the most comfortable with digital travel technology.
该协会呼吁各国政府简化签证程序，并采用统一的数字旅行证件标准。
The association called on governments to simplify visa procedures and adopt common standards for digital travel documents.
全球范围内，86%的受访者表示愿意在出发前以数字方式共享入境信息以加快手续办理，高于去年的83%。
Globally, 86 per cent of respondents said they were willing to share immigration information digitally before departure to speed up procedures, up from 83 per cent last year.
另有45%的受访者倾向于在抵达机场前完成入境手续，而2025年这一比例为41%。
Another 45 per cent preferred completing immigration formalities before arriving at the airport, compared with 41 per cent in 2025.
调查还发现，60%的旅客倾向于在线申请签证，而只有25%的人倾向于亲自前往大使馆或领事馆申请。
The survey also found that 60 per cent of travellers preferred applying for visas online, against 25 per cent who favoured applying in person at an embassy or consulate.
Careen表示：“超过100个国家签发电子签证，但在如何核查方面却缺乏一致性。”
“More than 100 countries issue eVisas, yet there is little consistency in how they are checked,” Careen said.
“解决该问题的工具已经存在，各国政府应当采用这些工具。”除了入境方面的担忧，调查还凸显了人工智能在旅行规划中的使用日益增长，全球49%的受访者表示曾为此目的使用过AI。
“The tools to fix that already exist, and governments should adopt them.”Beyond immigration concerns, the survey highlighted the growing use of artificial intelligence in travel planning, with 49 per cent of respondents globally reporting having used AI for that purpose.
亚太地区这一比例更高，达到57%，而中东地区以72%领跑所有地区。
The figure was higher in Asia-Pacific, at 57 per cent, while the Middle East led all regions at 72 per cent.
全球范围内，21%的受访者曾使用AI搜索飞往特定目的地的航班，19%用于寻找更便宜的票价，17%用于获取旅行灵感。
Globally, 21 per cent had used AI to search for flights to specific destinations, 19 per cent to find cheaper fares and 17 per cent for travel inspiration.
亚太地区受访者与中东地区受访者并列，对航空出行的整体满意度最高，均为90%。
Asia-Pacific respondents tied with those from the Middle East for highest overall satisfaction with air travel, at 90 per cent.
尽管对数据安全存有顾虑，但81%的亚太地区受访者表示愿意共享生物识别信息以简化机场流程，而全球这一比例为78%。
Despite concerns about data security, 81 per cent of Asia-Pacific respondents said they were willing to share biometric information to make airport procedures easier, compared with 78 per cent globally.
