China.com on June 21 With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, with the end of the college entrance examination and the middle school entrance examination and the holiday of colleges and universities, the popularity of the domestic tourism market continues to rise. According to the latest forecast of the China Tourism Research Institute, the number of tourists during this year's Dragon Boat Festival is expected to exceed the level of the same period in 2019, reaching 100 million, or will become the "hottest" Dragon Boat Festival in the past five years.

It is estimated that the number of Dragon Boat tourists will reach 100 million, and young people will become the "main force" of travel

According to the holiday arrangement, this year's Dragon Boat Festival holiday will be from June 22 to 24, a total of 3 days. For most travelers, a 3-day vacation is precious, so most people choose short trips and excursions to minimize the time on the road.

According to the "2023 Dragon Boat Holiday Tourism Forecast Report" released by Qunar, thanks to smooth high-speed rail lines and low-cost air tickets, the "2-hour travel circle" around big cities has become a new travel trend. For example, from Beijing, it can be connected to many cities in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in 1 hour, and Chaoyang in Liaoning, Datong in Shanxi, Yangquan in Shanxi, Dezhou in Shandong, Jinan in Shandong and other cities in 2 hours; The 2-hour tourist circle of Shanghai and Hangzhou can cover Nanjing, Nantong, Yancheng, Anhui Xuancheng, Chuzhou, Ma'anshan, etc.; From Guangzhou, you can reach Hengyang, Chenzhou, Guangxi Wuzhou and so on within 2 hours.

China Tourism Academy predicts that the circulation and interactive flow of tourists in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Yangtze River Delta, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration are more obvious, and a three-hour golden tourism circle will be formed around major source cities, and the popularity of tourism and vacation places such as Beidaihe, Songshan and Conghua will gradually appear.

According to Ctrip's 2023 Dragon Boat Holiday Travel Trend Forecast Report, the top 10 domestic destinations for the Dragon Boat Festival are Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Qingdao, Wuhan, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Xi'an. From the perspective of popular high-speed rail lines, Shanghai-Hangzhou, Shenzhen-Guangzhou, Beijing-Beidaihe, Beijing-Tianjin and many other lines with a radius of less than 300 kilometers are favored.

In addition, from the perspective of tourism costs, the consumption price of Dragon Boat Festival travel is relatively friendly. Compared with "May Day", the average price paid for Dragon Boat Festival tickets has been reduced by nearly 20%. From the perspective of advance bookings, the number of passengers will not reach the order of "May Day", except for popular tourist cities, most cities will usher in "inexpensive, not crowded" holidays.
