China News Service, Beijing, May 23 (Reporter Liu Liang) Close to the exam period and short vacation time, the number of trips during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday over the years has been at a low level throughout the year.
However, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, China's civil aviation may usher in a turning point in travel in 2022.
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and the access policies in some parts of China have been opened, and the number of air ticket bookings has gradually increased.
The Dragon Boat Festival travel forecast report released by Qunar on the 23rd shows that the air ticket bookings in Guangzhou-Shenzhen area, Chengdu-Chongqing area, Hainan and other places have the most obvious growth.
The number of air ticket bookings for the Dragon Boat Festival increased by 30% from the previous month.
The data shows that the most popular destinations for Dragon Boat Festival air tickets are: Shenzhen, Haikou, Guangzhou, Sanya, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Kunming, Harbin, and Dalian.
The routes between Shenzhen and the Chengdu-Chongqing region account for more than half of the popular routes.
In addition to the rise in air ticket bookings, the age structure of civil aviation passengers is also changing.
Lan Xiang, director of the Qunar Big Data Research Institute, quoted data from the report that the number of trips by users aged 20 to 30 has increased significantly, that of users aged 40 to 50 has dropped by 5% year-on-year, and the proportion of trips by people over 60 has gradually increased. The "old man" has a clear trend of going north.
Lan Xiang said that after the "May 1st", China's civil aviation passenger market has slowly recovered, and the daily number of passengers departing from Hong Kong has increased by 30% compared with that before the "May 1st" holiday.
Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, civil aviation may welcome a turning point in travel.
Data shows that as the temperature rises, the "cool economy" has also picked up. In May, the sales of water parks and cruise ships nationwide increased by 65% compared with April.
In addition, the camping craze that was popular in spring and summer also continued to the Dragon Boat Festival.
Qunar data shows that bookings for camping equipment during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday more than tripled year-on-year.
Due to the shortened travel radius, home camping, community camping, and RV camping have become new trends in camping.
Qunar big data shows that during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, the number of RV camping reservations increased by 60% compared with the same period last year. Guangzhou, Chongqing, Huizhou, Hangzhou, and Chengdu are the most enthusiastic about RV camping.
