During the "May Day" holiday, a tourist bus departing from Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province, attracted attention. On the bus, dozens of "shovel officers" set off with their dogs, "checking in" attractions, swimming on the island, and feeling "poetry and distance".

Wei Ni, the "shovel officer" from Liuzhou City, Guangxi, dressed up her dog "Yiyi" in a floral skirt, dressed up beautifully, and signed up for a trip together. She said: "Since I got my dog, I haven't traveled, I am worried that my dog is alone at home and there is no one to take care of, I want to take my dog to travel with me, and I am afraid that the hotel will not allow it." This time, the "Pet Tour" activity addressed Weinie's concerns.
"Post-90s" Xiaoyu (pseudonym) took 4 dogs and participated in 2 consecutive pet trips during the "May Day" period. Nanning Shanglin Dalong Lake has distant mountains like dai, the lake water is clear, small fish and 4 dogs leisurely paddling on the paddleboard, becoming a beautiful landscape.
After the trip to Nanning, Xiaoyu took 4 dogs and set off for Yangjiang Hailing Island. "Two trips cost thousands of dollars," she said. But to be able to travel with the dogs and watch them have fun, I think it's worth it. "For Xiaoyu, these four dogs are family-like, and the oldest dog has been kept for 4 years.
Nowadays, many people travel with pets. Yang Yaohua, the person in charge of Guangxi Dog Qunar, said that during the "March 3" and "May Day" holidays this year, they launched a number of travel projects with pets, all of which were favored by "shovel officials". He said: "Every time the travel event is previewed, hundreds of pet owners sign up. ”

As early as 2006, Yang Yaohua, who has a pet, began to "test the waters" of pet travel. At first, he just tried to organize friends in the pet group to drive around the neighborhood together. Later, Yang Yaohua gradually accumulated rich experience in operation and traveling with pets, cultivated a large number of "customer groups", and slowly developed into a tour group scale in recent years. "There is an increasing demand for traveling with pets, and our customers have grown from a dozen to hundreds."
In Yang Yaohua's view, pet travel sounds good, but it is not simple to implement. Many pet families want to travel, but suffer from the problem of "no pets allowed" such as public transportation and scenic hotels. Contacting and coordinating with scenic hotels as a team can avoid the embarrassment of individual guests being turned away. In order to avoid problems such as pets hurting people and defecating in the open, the "shovel officer" involved in pet tourism will also lead the dog leash when carrying the pet dog, and bring their own poop bags and clean up excrement in time.
With the increase in the income of the Chinese people and the enhancement of consumption power, the "other economy" continues to be hot. According to the "2022-2023 China Pet Industry Development and Consumer Research Report" released by iMedia Consulting, the scale of China's pet economy industry will reach 2022.4936 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to reach 8114.<> billion yuan in <>.
