20.In addition to sightseeing,shopping is a popular activity for many Chinese tourists when they go abroad.Their huge buying power has made them become known as"walking wallets".However,thanks to mobile payment services such as WeChat Pay and Alipay,perhaps"walking e-wallets"would be a better nickname.
According to Xinhua News Agency,WeChat Pay's overseas service is available for Chinese tourists in 12countries and regions,including Thailand,South Korea,Japan and Canada.Many Chinese visitors used WeChat Pay in convenience stores and duty-free shops and restaurants abroad.
"I don't need to take my wallet out.I don't need to wait for change.There is some discount and no commission(佣金).This payment method has so many advantages,"a Beijing woman told Xinhua while shopping in Thailand.
Alipay is also popular with Chinese tourists overseas.With about 450 million users,Alipay is accepted by more than 80,000 companies worldwide,according to China Daily.
When 33-year-old Shanghai resident Xu Lei walked into the Santa Claus Village tourism office in Rovaniemi,Finland,he was surprised to spot a sign with Alipay logo,which meant he could use the Alipay mobile app on his phone to scan a QR code provided by the tourism office to pay,just as he would back home.
Yet in the eyes of Yu Jin,chief operations officer of Caissa Tourist Group AG in Hamburg,Xu should not have been surprised."Now,the whole European industry is paying greater attention to Chinese tourists'shopping habits and consumption,"he told China Daily.
Although mobile payments can bring convenience,they are not without security risks.Recently for the security reasons,Alipay has introduced new digital payment methods to users,allowing customers to process payments using a"voiceprint",reported China Daily.
