CCTV News: During this year's May Day holiday, the popularity of long-term travel for holidays has increased. As my country's civil aviation network becomes increasingly perfect and passengers travel more widely, some niche destinations have become new favorites with convenient routes.
Xinjiang Bole City is located in the northern part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and is famous for its beautiful scenery of Sailimu Lake. During this summer and autumn, the routes within Xinjiang continue to be enlarged. For example, after the Yecheng-Bole flight is opened, passengers no longer need to travel for more than 20 hours of trains, and only need 2 hours to fly to arrive.
The Xinjiang Aviation Network, which uses Urumqi and Kashgar as its hubs, is connecting more scenic spots into lines. Staff at an airline said they increased capacity to niche destinations during May Day, and the current booking situation far exceeded expectations.
"Nickname" has become one of the most popular hot words on this May Day. Data from online travel platforms show that the search popularity of "May Day 1 niche destinations" soared by 200% month-on-month in the past month, and the popularity of "unpopular parent-child destinations" increased by 100%. International routes also show a trend of "niche destinations are sought after", with air ticket bookings in destinations such as Granada, Spain and Tbilisi, Georgia soaring.
Statistics from online travel platforms show that with the recovery and expansion of the global aviation supply chain, 177 new cities can be reached by Chinese passengers through international flights this year on May Day. Visitors have more overseas destinations to choose from and have gone further.
