"May Day" Holiday Outbound Tours Are Strong, Some Popular Routes and Group Tours Have Few Remaining Places
2023-03-22
Recently, topics such as "Is Thailand really too expensive to go?" and "Travel to Thailand" have been on the Weibo hot search list. In fact, with the recent expansion of the list of destinations for outbound team tours in China and the approaching of the "May Day" holiday, outbound tours have become increasingly popular. After visiting several Beijing travel agencies on the spot, a reporter from Securities Daily found that various travel agencies have launched multiple routes around outbound travel, with destinations in addition to the recent popularity of Southeast Asian countries, as well as Switzerland, Italy, and other European countries. As of press release, travel agencies have run out of quota for outbound tours with groups during the "May Day" period, and the scheduling for group tours in popular countries has reached June. In addition, the reporter learned from communication with consumers that due to the expected small peak of domestic tourism during the "May Day" period, "peak shifting travel" has become one of the important reasons for tourists to choose outbound tourism. "One seat is hard to find" for outbound group tours, although there is still some time to go before the "May Day" holiday, the tide of travel booking has arrived ahead of schedule. "On April 17th, the New Zealand tour was full, and there are only 5 seats left for the next round of tours on May 11th. If you decide to travel, please pay the deposit as soon as possible." On March 19th, when a reporter from Securities Daily consulted a domestic outbound tourism service provider as a tourist, he received the above reply. At the same time, the travel agency repeatedly emphasized that the remaining locations will change at any time. Subsequently, the reporter learned from another travel service provider's offline store in Fengtai District, Beijing that the latest tour to New Zealand has been scheduled for April 29, and the destination is Shanghai. Tourists from Beijing need to travel to Shanghai at their own expense to accompany the tour. At the same time, the store's relevant business leader said, "The 20-member group is currently full, but there are still 5 people who have not paid the deposit. If the deposit can be paid now, there is an opportunity to negotiate a vacancy." "This year's' May Day 'domestic travel number may usher in a small peak, so outbound travel has become a good choice for' peak shifting travel ', and the relevant reservation channels have been opened as early as early as March." The store's relevant business leader introduced. At the same time, the reporter learned from communication with consumers who consulted about outbound travel on the spot that the prices and services of outbound travel by several large travel agencies on the market are almost the same. People choose outbound travel, on the one hand because there is no outbound opportunity for a long time, and on the other hand, it is to stagger the overcrowding of domestic tourist attractions during the "May Day" period. In terms of the choice of outbound destinations, all of the interviewed merchants have consistently prioritized Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. In addition, European routes such as Switzerland, Italy, and France have also been highly recommended by businesses. When talking about the selection criteria for outbound travel destinations, the aforementioned tourism service provider told reporters, "Currently, the promotion of routes is mainly based on countries that are not allowed to apply for landing visas. If visa processing is involved, it cannot be guaranteed that the visa will be successfully issued before the May Day holiday, and the outbound visa processing time needs to be set aside for 1 to 2 months." The reason why European routes are mainly recommended may be related to the pilot resumption of outbound tourism related businesses in the second batch of 40 countries. According to Cheng Chaogong, the chief researcher of Tongcheng Research Institute, since the announcement of the second batch of 40 outbound travel destinations, the number of visa reservations and outbound travel consultation bookings has maintained a rapid growth before and after the May Day holiday. In terms of user structure, the current core of outbound tourism
