CCTV News: Recently, the average price of air tickets and hotels in many places has dropped significantly compared with the Spring Festival holiday, attracting many people to start "off-peak tours". Let’s see the reporter’s visit in Ningbo, Zhejiang.
The reporter learned from several travel agencies in Ningbo that the prices of the tourism market fell sharply after the holiday. The average price of air tickets, hotels and other tourism products has fallen by 30%-50% compared with the Spring Festival period. The next two months will be the "golden period" of staggered tourism.
Travel agency staff introduced that many popular tourist destinations have reduced prices by one-third or even more than half. For example, after the holiday, the lowest price in destinations such as Harbin has dropped to the range of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. During the Spring Festival, this product will be sold for 6,000 to 7,000 yuan.
The relevant person in charge of the travel agency told reporters that most of the people who travel now are silver-haired people around 55 to 70 years old. Because they have plenty of time, they usually choose to travel when they are cost-effective. Citizens in Ningbo, Zhejiang said that they have been paying attention to the Northeast Ring Road recently, and the price is relatively affordable after the holiday, so they want to take their wife and have a walk with them for more.
In addition, the surrounding health care trains and medium- and long-term outbound travel are also popular in the market. According to the travel agency staff, health travel to Fujian is only 2,280 yuan, 5-day trip to Chongqing is only 1,690 yuan, and double flights in Beijing are only 1,980 yuan. For more popular destinations and medium- and long-term outbound travel, such as Antarctic Tour as an example, the previous group fee of more than 100,000 yuan is now reduced to more than 80,000 yuan.
