Is the Double Ninth Festival popular in the elderly tourism market?

Near the Double Ninth Festival, the elderly tourism market is full of vitality. According to the monitoring data of Tuniu Travel Network, the price of outbound travel products has been significantly reduced after the National Day, and some short-term popular destinations such as Thailand and Bali are quoted at around 4,000 yuan after the holiday. "After the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the prices of air tickets, hotels and other resources have dropped sharply, and the prices of tourism products have also declined. Compared with the National Day, the average price of outbound travel products decreased by 30%-50%. At this time, it is very cost-effective to book an outbound tour. " The relevant person in charge of Tuniu Travel Network said.

With the deepening of people's demand for tourism experience, the ways for the elderly to leave the country on the Double Ninth Festival are becoming more and more "varied". While following the folk tradition, the pursuit of self-enjoyment has become the biggest feature of the elderly. According to the survey data of Tuniu Travel Network, this year's Double Ninth Festival, food and recreation have replaced mountaineering as hot topics for the elderly to leave the country.

Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, is called "Double Ninth Festival". There are six Yin and nine Yang in the post-Ye Confucian view of Yin and Yang in Hanzhong. Nine is the number of yang, and the real nine is also called "Chongyang". People have the custom of climbing mountains on that day, so the Double Ninth Festival is also called "Mountaineering Festival". There are also sayings such as Double Ninth Festival, Cornus officinalis and Chrysanthemum Festival.

In addition, the homonym of "99" on the ninth day of September is "99", which has a long meaning, so it is often used to worship ancestors and carry out activities to respect the elderly. The Double Ninth Festival and the three festivals of "the first day", "the Qing Dynasty" and "Chongqing" are also the four major festivals for ancestor worship in Chinese traditional festivals. Only in recent years, people pay more attention to the elderly, so this festival is also called the festival for the elderly.
