Sichuan Jiuzhaigou is like a paradise. Why do people who have been there generally not want to go there a second time?

Jiuzhaigou is a well-known place with beautiful scenery. The gurgling water flows through the trees in the mountains, giving Jiuzhaigou its dynamic and graceful beauty. Being in it feels like being in an otherworldly fairyland. The scenery here is beautiful, the environment is quiet and quiet, and it makes people dream. This place is known as the "King of Waterscapes", and there is a saying that "when you come back from Jiuzhaigou, you don't look at the water."

In the past, during major domestic holidays, Jiuzhaigou was overcrowded with tourists, and the scenic spot had to take measures such as advance reservations and traffic restrictions to control the number of tourists. Even in normal times, there was an endless stream of tourists. But now no one wants to go to Jiuzhaigou. The main reasons are as follows: Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area’s own reasons.

In 2019, the scenic spot has a daily limit of 5,000 people, and only group tours are allowed, and independent travel is not supported. To put it bluntly, it does not accept individual tourists, and those who want to travel to Jiuzhaigou can only join a group tour. This rule has discouraged many tourists. Many people are resistant to group travel. They want to travel with friends or as a family, free and unrestrained, how great! Since the scenic spot has regulations on group tours, I won’t go there. There are so many famous tourist attractions in the motherland. It’s better to go sightseeing elsewhere. The epidemic has had a huge impact on tourism.

This year is already the third year of the COVID-19 epidemic. The epidemic has had a huge impact on the tourism industry. Various fields such as travel and accommodation, catering and entertainment have been affected, and some tourism companies can only announce their withdrawal. In the past, travel agencies were everywhere, grabbing a lot of them, but now there are very few left. Even if you have money and leisure and want to travel with a group, there are few or no travel agencies to choose from, and the travel plan will be shelved. Residents’ income decreased.

Under the epidemic, all walks of life have been affected. Many large factories have continued to lay off employees and cut wages. Some small and medium-sized enterprises are struggling or even going bankrupt. A large number of workers have nothing to do or are unemployed, and low- and middle-income families have been affected. The epidemic has had a greater impact. Specifically, the job stability of freelancers and self-employed people has dropped significantly. Residents' incomes have plummeted, and mortgages, car loans, parents' medical expenses, and children's education expenses are overwhelming. Some people even have problems making a living. How can they still have spare money to travel? Residents' awareness of savings has increased.

In the second quarter of 2022, the People's Bank of China conducted a questionnaire survey of 20,000 urban savers in 50 cities across the country. The results showed that 23.8% of residents tended to "consume more", which was higher than the previous quarter. An increase of 0.1 percentage points; residents who prefer "saving more" accounted for 58.3%, an increase of 3.6 percentage points from the previous quarter. The epidemic has made households pay more attention to savings. Compared with the lavish spending in the past, residents are now more rational in consumption. The epidemic has changed the consumption willingness and preferences of many residents. For example, they used to eat big meals every day, but now they may cook more at home. The unit recommends that employees go out as little as possible.

The new coronavirus is highly contagious and is closely related to crowd movement and gathering. In order to actively respond to the new situation of epidemic prevention and control, effectively reduce the risk of virus transmission, and prevent the normal work of the unit from being affected by infection outside, many Work units have issued initiatives to reduce travel as much as possible, which is why few people go out to travel.
