Will the COVID-19 epidemic affect tourism?

No, because the second wave of positive came. After passing through COVID-19, I know that COVID-19 is by no means an epidemic flu, which is much more serious than the flu. Haikou, Sanya and other popular tourist cities have introduced management measures to adjust the foreign (returned) personnel in the province and no longer implement classified control. Within one hour after the news of the relaxation was released, Qunar.com data showed that the search volume of inbound air tickets in Sanya increased by 1.8 times compared with the same period of the previous day, the booking volume increased by 3.3 times, and the booking volume of hotels in Sanya also surged by 3 times compared with the previous period.

Under the huge travel demand, the number of flights has risen rapidly. Along with the search volume and transportation volume, there is also the price of machine wine.

Ye Hua and her friends booked a hotel two weeks before the trip. They chose a mountain view room with projection, which can accommodate 4-6 people, and the price set at that time was 589.

After the "Leopard Change" search, it was found that the homestays near Gubei Water Town Scenic Area rose to varying degrees at Christmas and New Year's Day, and the price of most homestays on New Year's Eve was twice that of weekdays, at around 1,000 yuan. The seaview suite of Atlantis Hotel Sanya, a popular tourist destination, reached 6288 yuan on June 5438+February 3 1 New Year's Eve, fell to 2888 yuan after New Year's Day, and rose to 5688 yuan in the days of Spring Festival. Nevertheless, by the end of February 27th 12, Atlantis Hotel had fully booked nine room types, including the Jin Jue suite of 35,888 yuan per night.

Air ticket prices also began to rise after a period of trough. On February 5, 65438, the data of the same journey showed that the average air ticket price in the past week rose by 30% from the previous week to 750 yuan (including tax), which was about 16% higher than the average price during the National Day Golden Week this year. Ye Hua told Bao Bian that she always wanted to go to Qingdao, so she paid close attention to the air tickets from Beijing to Qingdao. 300 yuan has not refueled for a long time, but it has quadrupled recently, generally around 600 yuan.

In terms of outbound travel, after 65438 resumed outbound travel on February 26, on social platforms, businesses such as travel customization, air tickets, travel and visas began to publish outbound travel propaganda. An Zhe, a ticketing agent in Dalian, told Bao Bian: "The price of going abroad is not expensive now, and the ticket price may rise because of more demand in the later period, but no one can say for sure." The recurrence of the epidemic for three years has brought a huge impact on tourism. Especially this year, the epidemic situation in Shanghai, Beijing and other cities broke out continuously, and most people had the experience of being kept at home to some extent. Tourism is even more silent to the extreme.

This time, has tourism really recovered?

From the perspective of consumers, many people are still afraid of "recurrence" and "secondary infection" and dare not act rashly. Ye Hua said that during her trip, her parents objected and worried that her health could not be restored.

A month ago, few people came to Gubei Water Town, which is called "Starry Town under the Great Wall". The owner of a homestay near Gubei Water Town told Leopard Change last week: "The income for the whole year is not very good. During the National Day holiday, some guests finally came, and some canceled their trips because of the epidemic. Not to mention 165438+ 10, there were not many people who consulted on the platform, and they were cold and miserable. "

With the gradual liberalization of tourism in Beijing, Christmas first brought some popularity to urban outings. Small Christmas trees have been hung in hotels and restaurants in Gubei Water Town, and a Christmas market has been set up in Riyuedao Square. Zhou Lai bought some Christmas decorations and put them in his host family. He feels that his business is obviously better.

"Since the beginning of 65438+February, many guests want to book a room for Christmas. Recently, they asked more about the rooms for the New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival. " Speaking of which, Zhou Lai breathed a sigh of relief.

Despite this, Zhou Lai was vaguely worried: "The people who come to Gubei now are not as good as in previous years. I hope there won't be any other moths in this epidemic. It will take a little time before the real recovery, maybe until May 1 ST and 11 th next year. "

Xiao He of the travel agency is also mixed. Regarding health problems, Xiao He thinks that as long as there is no restriction of nucleic acids and red and green codes, many young people will take revenge after Yang Guo.

However, whether the consumption power can be restored to the past is a question mark. Xiao He said: "Many people are actually tightening their budgets for tourism. Many of the drivers we used to work with have changed careers. The trip broke out. I don't know how much longer I can hold on. After all, everyone who has been in the sun knows that that feeling is more real than travel or health.
