Increasing ticket volume during booking of "May Day"
The "May Day" tourism market has started. On April 16th, Ctrip released data showing that from April 1st to April 15th, passenger bookings during the "May Day" have been showing an increasing trend.
However, the prevention and control of the epidemic situation in various parts of the country has not been relaxed. The scenic area is only open to outdoor areas, and the reception capacity does not exceed 30% of the approved maximum load capacity ... No matter from which angle you can feel, the "May Day" holiday in 2020 is destined to be different from previous years.
Based on this, a detailed observation of the recent product changes and big data information of the travel platform has shown that some new gameplay in the travel circle has already appeared.

Rent a car and drive around to become a new favorite
Under the influence of the epidemic, the car rental market is currently recovering the fastest in all sectors of tourism.
Compared with other modes of transportation, renting a car is more free, clean and private, and is naturally favored by tourists under the influence of the epidemic. However, unlike most self-driving tourists who like to fly to popular cities before renting a car, under the influence of the epidemic, self-driving has become one of the important choices for self-driving tours and short-distance surrounding tours in the province.
The data shows that the current Ctrip car rental reservation has been restored to 70% of the same period last year, and it is expected that there will be a new peak of car rental during the "May Day" holiday.
RV tours and online guides are popular
A family car, a caravan with less contact with strangers has also become a popular "new game" this May. According to the statistics of the Ctrip theme travel platform, the number of travelers searching for RV travel products in recent stages has doubled compared with March.
"Online guides" have become a popular way to travel this year's "May Day". According to the statistics of Ctrip's local guide platform, the number of orders for local guide products in the recent period has increased by nearly three times from March. Become the most popular destination for "May Day".

You may have to make an appointment before going to the scenic spot
This year's "May 1" travel, for consumers, the most important thing to pay attention to is the new time-sharing appointment.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Health and Health Commission issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Prevention and Control of Outbreaks in Tourist Scenic Spots and Safe and Orderly Opening." The number of tourists received in the scenic spot shall not exceed 30% of the approved maximum carrying capacity. The scenic spots should establish a perfect reservation system, implement time-scheduled tour reservations, and guide tourists to enter the park and travel in different peaks.
In other words, this year's "May Day", making an appointment before going to the scenic spot will become a new habit before tourists go out.
"We advocate 'no appointments, no travel', develop appointment habits, make advance reservations, and reserve tickets." Yu Xiaojiang, vice president of Ctrip Group and CEO of the Global Play Division, suggested, "In this way, avoid congestion in the scenic spots and queue up and eat in the door." (End )
