Obviously, if you have paid time off, traveling on the peak before the National Day is also a very good choice, and you can save a lot of money just by airfare.
Qunar big data shows that as of September 11, the top 10 cities for air ticket booking during the "November" holiday are: Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Kunming, Chongqing, Haikou, Hangzhou, Xi'an, and Beijing ranks second. Beijingers prefer to go to: Chengdu, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Kunming, Sanya, Haikou, Urumqi, Chongqing, Guiyang and Shanghai.
These places are popular destinations for outbound travel or small peaks
According to Tongcheng travel data, Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai, Changsha, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Wuhan are the most popular domestic tourist destinations during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday. In addition to convenient transportation conditions and rich tourism resources, these cities have a deep cultural heritage, and many festivals related to traditional culture are launched during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day, attracting a large number of tourists.
In August this year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the third batch of countries and regions that resumed outbound group travel, and the popularity of major outbound travel destinations around the world has risen rapidly. Due to the time period required for travel planning and visa processing, the outbound tourism market did not heat up rapidly until the summer period, and the market expects that the outbound tourism market will usher in a small peak in passenger flow during the National Day Golden Week in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
According to Tongcheng travel data, Hong Kong, Thailand and South Korea are currently the most popular outbound destinations, and long-term outbound destinations are also more popular. Among them, Hong Kong, China has attracted mainland tourists through multiple rounds of free air ticket distribution, and the popularity of travel search in Hong Kong, China has increased by 169% month-on-month since September.
According to Ctrip's data, during the November period this year, the search popularity of outbound air tickets recovered by nearly 100% compared with the same period in 2019, and the main search destinations for outbound air tickets were Thailand, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. At the same time, the search popularity of outbound hotels increased by nearly 20% compared with 2019, and hotels in destinations such as Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom are popular choices for users.
