The popularity of long-term tourism during the Dragon Boat Festival has declined. The average price paid for holiday air tickets is about 8% lower than that of the "May Day" holiday.

Short-distance travel has once again become a general trend. The 2-hour excursion is favored as it only takes 2 hours and 1 minute to reach Guiyang, Chongqing, Anhui, Hengyang, Hunan and Wuhan. The Dragon Boat Holiday runs from June 14 to June 16.
