Move over tropical beaches – Gen Z and Millennials are chasing frosty thrills this Spring Festival! With ice hotels going viral and ski resorts packed like K-pop concerts, young travelers from Beijing to Cairo are rewriting winter vacation rules.
In the latest episode of 'The Power of Youth', we hit the slopes with:
- A Chinese e-sports pro turned snowboard instructor
- A Rwandan student documenting ice sculptures on TikTok
- A Serbian entrepreneur launching eco-friendly igloos
- An Egyptian engineer creating artificial ski domes
'My first Beijing ski trip got 500K views – now I'm China's accidental tourism ambassador,' laughs Rwandan student Marie Uwase. Meanwhile, Egypt's Amina Khalil reveals: 'We're using VR to simulate Alpine experiences for desert dwellers!'
Chinese tourism boards report a 210% spike in winter activity bookings from under-30 travelers since 2022. With #FrozenAdventures trending across social platforms, this chill revolution shows no signs of melting!
