Liupanshui road tour is cost-effective during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and "Reunion and Moon Viewing" activates the night tour economy

There is only one week left before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, and many tourists are preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. We learned from various travel agencies that products with the theme of moon viewing and reunion are the most popular among Chinese people. Choosing to travel during off-peak hours after the Mid-Autumn Festival will greatly save travel costs.

Forecast data shows that in the three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, domestic civil aviation and railway passenger flow will have a significant upward trend, and the peak passenger flow before the holiday is expected to occur on September 12. Compared with before the holiday, return passenger flow will be highly concentrated after the holiday. The average air ticket price on September 15 will reach the holiday peak level, and international and domestic air tickets will maintain roughly the same price fluctuation trend.

In terms of accommodation, during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday from September 10th to September 15th, the passenger flow of hotels, inns, and B&Bs in major cities across the country showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Passenger traffic has increased rapidly since September 11 before the festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is the peak of the three-day holiday, accounting for about 60% of the entire holiday. Starting from September 14, hotel passenger traffic in major domestic cities began to decline rapidly. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the average room price of hotels and non-standard accommodation facilities in major cities in China fluctuates between 300 and 350 yuan, with the highest room price on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the average room price at 350 yuan. The average house prices in Bangkok, Osaka, Singapore, Tokyo and Macau are expected to be 458 yuan, 837 yuan, 1114 yuan, 1116 yuan and 1138 yuan respectively.

Most long-term products during the Mid-Autumn Festival have a larger price drop than during the summer. Same as the off-season in September, prices are lower throughout the year. Affected by the drop in popularity after the summer holiday, the per capita cost of most domestic and outbound tourism products dropped significantly in September, with popular routes falling by 20%-30%, and prices jumping as high as 40%. Among them, domestic routes such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Hainan, Beijing, Guizhou, Sichuan, and East China are suitable for tourism and have high cost performance.

"The moon, now round over the sea, lights up the whole sky." As one of the most important festivals in China, "reunion and moon-viewing" has become a popular way for many family tourists to travel during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

Compared with short holidays such as May Day and Dragon Boat Festival, the proportion of two and three generations traveling together during the Mid-Autumn Festival has increased by about 14%. Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xiamen, Zhuhai, Wuxi, Aba, Nanjing, Qingdao, Jiaxing, Qingyuan and other destinations suitable for moon viewing have become popular.

On the one hand, there is a tradition of enjoying the moon during Mid-Autumn Festival reunions. Even when traveling, tourists always hope to find a poetic place to sit down, eat moon cakes and admire the autumn moon. On the other hand, in recent years, with the continuous enrichment of domestic night tourism projects, tourists have more diverse consumption choices for Mid-Autumn Festival nights.

The two most popular night tours during this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival are performing arts and night tours. Among them, the popularity of night tours has caused destination cities with river and lake tourism resources such as Guangzhou, Chongqing, and Hangzhou to usher in travel peaks during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The night views of historical and cultural cities such as Beijing and Western China also attract a large number of young tourists. In addition, the traditional folk custom of admiring the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival also makes the demand for night tours on the Mid-Autumn Festival very strong. Mid-Autumn Festival viewing and celebration activities in some theme parks and ancient towns attract a large number of tourists to book tickets in advance.
