There is still more than a month to go until the May Day holiday
But quite a few people find out
Hotel prices in some areas have already risen quite a bit
(Revenge tourism, it's really coming.)
But I'm afraid the object of retaliation is me)
In recent days, Mr. Cao, who is preparing to go to Beijing on a business trip, has found that the prices of express hotels such as Homeinns, Hanting and Super 8 have generally increased, and the better locations have risen to more than 600 yuan. He sighed: "This price can be used to stay in Guangzhou to a four-star hotel." ”
Feeling the price increase of Beijing Express Hotel, there is also Ms. Wang, who is planning to travel. On March 15, she and her family planned to travel to Beijing next week, wanting to book a Hanting Hotel near the Temple of Heaven, thinking that they could book it for more than 300 yuan, but it had risen to more than 500 yuan, and it would cost more than 2,000 yuan to stay for 4 nights.
This is not an isolated case. In Beijing, Homeinns and Hanting in some popular areas exceeded 500 yuan, Quanji and Orange Hotels basically exceeded 600 yuan, and Atour generally rose to more than 700 yuan. In Shanghai, budget hotels are also much more expensive than usual.
On various social platforms
Many netizens posted that
A cheap and budget hotel that is the "king of value for money"
Collectively went up
The workers are almost unable to live
How much does this May Day hotel cost?
The usual price is so hot, how is the May Day holiday? In fact, major travel platforms have launched packages for popular hotels in China during the May Day period, and the title of the event has changed from "pre-heating" to "pre-heating", and the hotel's budget has also changed from "prepayment" to "advance prepayment".
Platform data shows that near popular scenic spots such as Beijing's Tiananmen Square, Badaling, Shanghai Bund and Canton Tower, some small hotels and homestays are full during May Day. In Changsha, Xi'an, Chongqing and other large cities with complete tourism facilities and fierce market competition, the prices of hotels and homestays in Wuyi have also increased by 1.5-3 times.

Macau SAR is known for its well-developed hotel industry, but after looking at the prices of star hotels, it can only be said that poverty limits the imagination.

Ctrip shows that the nightly price of the Venetian Hotel has risen from 2,395 yuan before May Day to 8,767 yuan, and the trend of The Parisian and Wynn Palace is also the same, so that Mandarin Oriental, which has risen from 2,000 to 4,000, is more gentle in comparison. On May Day this year, the simple wish of migrant workers is probably that wages will rise as much as hotels in Macau.
The same story is happening in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, where every inch of land is at a premium.
The price of a bed has increased from 200+ to 500+ on weekdays, and even it is now fully booked, giving you no chance to pay painfully.
Why are all types of hotels increasing their prices?
With no travel restrictions, people across the country seem to have turned on travel modes. Bosses and employees are either on the way or planning business trips, which can be described as "retaliatory business trips". According to Ctrip's business travel data, the recovery process of domestic business travel hotels is faster than that of overseas hotels, and the current number of domestic business travel hotel bookings has increased by more than 2 times compared with the same period in 2019.
On the other hand, with the recovery of the tourism market, people's enthusiasm for travel continues to rise. After the Spring Festival this year, the traditional off-season of the tourism market has not arrived. According to data from Ctrip's platform, as of February 20, the number of bookings for domestic independent travel products from February to March increased by 446% year-on-year, and the number of bookings for group tours increased by 188% year-on-year.
In contrast to strong demand, there is a lack of supply. According to the "2021 China Hotel Industry Development Report" released by the China Hotel Industry Association, by the end of 2021, the number of budget hotel chain hotel rooms in the country was 2.22 million, a year-on-year decrease of about 160,000.
When the lack of supply hits strong demand for business trips and travel, hotel price increases are expected.
