  Guochao Bazaar debuts a new consumer experience

  At the moment when night tourism is being deployed all over the country, why are these cities the hottest?

Extending the stay of tourists is not the most comprehensive and accurate answer.

The development of new night scenes such as light and shadow shows and markets on rivers, seashores, and riversides not only brings new experiences for tourists, but also further highlights the gold content of the "night economy".

  “It’s very exciting to visit Jinjiang by boat, and the consumer experience is even better.” Mr. Wang, a tourist from Chongqing, was pleasantly surprised that after taking a “Night Tour of Jinjiang” by boat, he was still shopping at the Gufeng Market along the Jinjiang River at Dongmen Wharf.

A patriotic song is inspiring, even if it is Being crowded and sweating, Liu Jian was still excited, "The blend of modern technology and traditional culture makes the night of the ancient city more attractive, and this trip is not in vain."

  What do you rely on

  Can not be presented statically but activated dynamically

  Night tourism is one of the research topics that Wu Liyun, associate professor of the Institute of Chinese Culture and Tourism Industry of Beijing International Studies University, has been paying attention to for a long time. "Night Tour to Jinjiang" is also a night tourism project that she is very concerned about. It is accepted by Chengdu Commercial Daily-Red Star News When interviewed by the reporter, she once said that the supply of night tourism products and the city's basic support for night tourism are two indispensable parts that determine whether night tourism can become its new driving force.

  The "Top 10 Urban Night Tourism Impacts" announced in the last September were Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Xi'an, Changsha, Nanjing, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Tianjin in order.

  Wu Liyun was not surprised by this result.

"In fact, for the domestic tourism industry, night tourism is indeed a new hot spot that has rapidly become popular in recent years. This trend is particularly evident during the recovery phase of the tourism industry last year and this year."

  According to Wu Liyun's analysis, many places currently use night tours as a new tool to stimulate consumption.

From a tourism perspective, the use of night projects to allow tourists to stay and live can indeed further release the tourism consumption potential. "Compared with day trips, overnight trips will increase the per capita consumption of tourists by 3/4. Statistics show that 60% of the consumption in shopping malls occurs at night. When traveling and shopping, people are relatively more relaxed at night and easier to release consumer demand. Recently, many places have continued to innovate the business philosophy of night tourism. Therefore, in this In the wave of wave development, new business formats have also been born rapidly."

  Of course, while various places are competing for the night tourism track, the convergence of night tourism products, the single form, and the lack of cultural connotation have also caused many people in the industry to worry. In Wu Liyun's view, compared with day tourism, night tourism The key to tourism is that the product cannot be simply statically presented, but must be dynamically activated. “The development of night tourism does not need to blindly follow the trend. It requires the number of tourists to reach a certain scale, and the addition of night tourism projects can extend the consumption time or attract some new consumers. "Wu Liyun believes that only by reasonable layout and avoiding "one side of a thousand cities" can tourism be fully utilized as the engine of night economy.
