B |     截至昨天，杭州口岸2026暑运出入境客流量已突破300万人次，虽然口岸流量同比基本持平，但客流结构发生了较大变化：入境外籍旅客超27万人次，同比增长超12％；免签入境外籍旅客超16万人次，同比增长超20％；入境外籍旅客主要来自韩国、越南、新加坡、马来西亚等。这是记者昨天从杭州出入境管理部门获悉的。客流结构变化，与今年暑期航线的扩容不无关系。今年暑期，杭州机场新增釜山、胡志明市等热门国际航线，加密往返韩国、泰国、中国香港等航线。而在暑运模式开启以后，出入境客流更是明显增大。据杭州边检站统计，7月1日暑运开始至今，杭州口岸已运送出入境旅客超58万人次，7月环比增长超12％，入境外籍旅客超4.5万人次，同比增长超12％，享受单方面免签、互免签证及过境免签政策入境的外籍旅客超2.1万人次，占入境外籍旅客总量近五成。

C | 出境亲子游、研学团成为暑期主力客流，占出境游约三成，中国香港、韩国以及新加坡、马来西亚、泰国等“免签黄金线”持续火热。为高效应对暑期客流高峰，持续优化口岸通关环境，杭州边检站聚焦中外旅客通关需求，推出系列便民利企举措，全面提升通关效率与服务体验。面对激增的客流，杭州边检站在通关效率和服务体验上做起了“精细活”。为方便外籍旅客入境，边检站全面推行外国人电子入境卡，联动航空公司在登机前、乘机中、落地后全流程提醒旅客扫码预填报，将信息采集前置，通关流程基本实现无纸化，有效缩短了外籍旅客的人均等候时间。与此同时，边检站创新试行“诚易通”机制，对低风险的重要商务人员简化查验环节，让商务出行更加便捷高效。在航班接机流程上，边检也进行了优化，多数航班落地即可下客、即验即放，现场设置蛇形查验通道，高峰时段所有通道全开、警力配齐，科学削峰引流，确保秩序井然。考虑到暑期家庭游、亲子游集中，老人和幼儿同行的情况较多，边检站专门在服务细节上做出调整。例如精准预判客流高峰，动态调配执勤警力，增派台外引导民警做好分流和咨询，同时在边检大厅开设“特别通道”，由专人引导，60周岁及以上老年人和幼、病、残、孕旅客均可优先通行。边检站还拍摄了通关指南视频，同步投放在国家移民管理局、杭州边检等官方新媒体账号以及杭州口岸电子大屏幕上，线上线下联动宣传，让更多旅客提前了解通关流程，出行更安心、更高效。
