Dragon Boat Festival Travel Plan

  As the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is approaching, many people expected to take a trip to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival. However, due to the rebound of the Beijing epidemic, the emergency response level was adjusted to level two, and strict control of entry and exit of Beijing has made many people's travel plans ruined.

  On June 16, Beijing ceased to open its cross-province, regional, and city team tourism business, and restricted 30% of indoor public places such as libraries, museums, and art galleries, as well as park scenic spots.

  "The Dragon Boat Festival was originally scheduled to travel from Beijing to Xiamen. All the air tickets, hotels, and car rentals have been booked. Now that the Beijing epidemic has recurred, it is necessary to temporarily cancel the original itinerary." Some netizens said on social media.

  How difficult is it to get out of Beijing now?

  Pan Xuhong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and press spokesperson, said at a press conference on the 18th that persons with risk of epidemic risk are strictly prohibited from leaving Beijing, mainly including three types of personnel: First, the city's confirmed cases, suspected cases, close contacts, and asymptomatic infections And people with fever symptoms. The second is the people who have been in and out of the Xinfadi wholesale market since May 30 and have had close contact with market staff. The third is middle and high risk township personnel. Other people in the city insisted in principle that “it is not necessary to leave Beijing”, and those who really need to leave Beijing must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 7 days.

  In other words, the personnel involved in the epidemic risk cannot leave Beijing; even if other people want to leave Beijing, they must get a negative nucleic acid test within 7 days. Without this certificate, it is impossible to leave Beijing, because civil aviation and railway departments conduct temperature tests and check nucleic acid test negative certificates before leaving Beijing for boarding passengers.

  And even if you get a negative nucleic acid test certificate, you may face isolation at the travel destination.

  At present, many places across the country have reiterated the isolation policy for medium and high risk areas, including Harbin, Daqing, Lanzhou, Urumqi, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Tangshan, Taiyuan, Hohhot, Baotou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Hefei, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Shandong, Zhengzhou, Changsha Cities such as Chongqing and Chongqing are clear and need to isolate people from Beijing.

  Under such circumstances, traveling out of Beijing during the Dragon Boat Festival is almost a luxury.

The tourism market was "stepped on the brakes"

  The new epidemic in Beijing has given the domestic tourism market a warm up as if it has "stepped on the emergency brake".

  Under the policy of rapid tightening, a total of 656 flights were canceled at two airports in Beijing throughout the day on June 17. Among them, 313 outbound flights were cancelled and 343 inbound flights were cancelled, with cancellation rates of 53.97% and 55.6% respectively.

  "The new epidemic outbreaks in Beijing have made travel in some areas discounted." On June 18, Ctrip released the "Dragon Boat Festival Holidays Market Outlook Report", booking hotels, air tickets, vacation products, etc. during the Dragon Boat Festival holidays , Only a slight increase compared to May, but the growth rate was not as good as that before Qingming and May 1 holiday.

  The report predicts that under the tightened prevention and control measures, the small peak of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday involving railways and air passengers in Beijing is not expected to occur.

  At present, the price of air tickets entering and leaving Beijing is diving. The Qunar website shows that during the Dragon Boat Festival from June 25 to June 27, the ticket price from Beijing to Guangzhou is only RMB 4,500. Note that this is the price of the round-trip ticket.

  According to the "2020 Dragon Boat Festival Holidays Travel and Travel Trend Report" released by Tongcheng Travel, the ticket price for the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday this year is about 30% cheaper than last year.
