"Zunyi Conference Site One-Day Tour Route" Fans' "Compensatory Tour" This Week's South Africa Tour Added "Lowering Your Body" to Attract Guests

This newspaper reported (reporters Faye Wong, Lin Xiaoli, correspondent Lin Yueming and Liu Jun) During the World Cup, many fans watched the game all night long, leaving their families in the cold. After the game, they chose to take their families out to comfort and compensate their families. This week, the number of trips jumped by about 50%.

After the World Cup trip, get excited again.

"I watched this World Cup day and night. Except for going to work, I didn't go out much for a whole month, and I didn't even go out to eat. How can I take my wife to travel now?" at a travel agency store on Guangwei Road Teacher Lin, who consulted on routes in western parts of Yunnan and Xinjiang, said with a smile.

It has become a common practice for travel agencies to influence the tourism of the World Cup held every four years. "Originally, summer travel peaked after mid-June, but this year because too many people chose to stay at home to watch the World Cup, the number of tourists dropped by nearly 10% compared to the same period last year." said Chen Zhichao, deputy general manager of Nanhu West Holidays.

However, with the end of the World Cup, tourism has become popular again. Statistics from travel agencies show that since last week, people have gone to travel agencies to inquire about beaches, islands, rafting, and water play routes on Shangchuan Island and Xiachuan Island, as well as leisure island routes starting this week such as Cebu Island, Koh Samui, and the Maldives. There has been a significant increase in tourists. The number of registrations in early July has increased by 50% compared with the peak stage of the World Cup in late June. "This has something to do with the end of the World Cup. Many fans took their families on a 'compensation tour' after the game and adjusted their condition at the same time." Chen Zhichao said.

South Africa tours "lower their profile" to attract customers

As the World Cup in South Africa comes to an end, Yunnan tourist attractions and South Africa tours begin to "lower their profile" to attract summer tourists. The reporter saw that the price of travel to South Africa has dropped significantly. For example, an eight-day luxury tour in South Africa at the end of July starts at 9,399 yuan. Visitors can stay at the five-star hotel in Sun City, the largest luxury resort in the southern hemisphere, and visit the venue for the World Cup semi-finals! During the World Cup, the price of the same type of route was as high as 40,799 yuan (one more World Cup match than a regular tour group). Now the group fee has dropped by 77% compared to the tour group.

"After the World Cup, the air ticket price to South Africa (via Hong Kong or a third place) dropped to about 6,000 yuan; some 4-star hotels in South Africa have dropped from about 7,000 yuan/room in June to 1,000 yuan / room. It’s more cost-effective to go to South Africa at this time,” said a travel agency manager.
