This 8-day long holiday of the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day will usher in a "travel tide" of crowds.
Statistics from China Railway Group show that from September 13 to 18, more than 100 million train tickets were sold by railways across the country, and it is expected that the average daily passenger flow of the railway will be close to 16 million during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, about twice the average daily passenger flow during the Spring Festival.
With the rising popularity of travel during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, the prices of some popular scenic hotels have also shown a trend of rising. Many netizens came up with the idea of "changing accommodations" and "renting out their own home".
The hottest is the highest
Expected average per day
There will be more than 100 million trips
Although there is still a week before the official start of the holiday, many details have already foreshadowed the heat of this long holiday.
According to data from China Railway Group, since the sale of holiday transport tickets began on September 13, as of 6 pm on the 20th, 146 million train tickets have been sold by the national railway; data released by a travel platform shows that this holiday, the proportion of reservations for inter-provincial travel has reached 73%, an increase of 10 percentage points over the same period in 2022. How "hot" will travel be this holiday?
Dai Bin, president of China Tourism Research Institute, believes that the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday will be the hottest National Day Golden Week in history. This time there are 8 days, and it will be far exceeded if it is compared to 2019 or last year. So in that sense, we expect an average of more than 100 million people to travel every day for an eight-day period. Judging from the future Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday, it can be said that everyone is a tourist and there are scenery everywhere.
Prices are generally rising
On the eve of the long holiday
Hotel bookings have skyrocketed
Prices generally rise 2 to 3 times
Whether it is a budget hotel or a luxury hotel, the price of hotels near many urban tourist attractions will generally increase by more than 2 to 3 times.
"Doing the National Day travel guide, I found that the prices of Homeinns and Hanting hotels in Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu have all increased, and the daily 300 yuan / night big bed room has basically increased to 700 yuan or even nearly 1,000 yuan." According to reports, in many Internet celebrity tourist destination cities, the room rates of budget hotels on National Day are close to the room rates of high-end resort hotels.
Some netizens said that after only one day, the booking price increased by 200 yuan.
According to media news, the holiday price of some luxury hotels in Sanya, Hainan and Xishuangbanna, Yunnan has risen nearly 3 times, and the price of economy hotels has generally doubled. In addition to hotels, many guesthouses are also very popular. The holiday prices of some homestays in Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li Business District in Chengdu, Sichuan are about 3.38 times that of the off-season. In addition, Anhui, Shanxi and other provinces, as well as Qingdao in Shandong and Fuzhou in Fujian have also issued documents to regulate the price behavior of the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day tourism market and remind operators to carefully use their own pricing authority.
According to Ctrip's Mid-Autumn Festival National Day Tourism Forecast Report, domestic and outbound tours are both popular on the National Day, air tickets, scenic spots, hotels, group tours and other products have entered the peak booking period, and popular room types in some popular tourist resorts and Internet celebrity guesthouses have become "difficult to find a room".
Many netizens called it very "painful" to book hotels during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Golden Week, and some people said: "After looking at countless hotels and homestays, the prices are ridiculously expensive, several times more than usual." ”
Fancy to save money
Overnight tours
New choice for netizens
The reporter found that on some social platforms, the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday "overnight travel" and "exchange house travel" have become new choices for netizens everywhere, hoping to find satisfactory listings. Due to its advantages of saving costs, making friends and deeply experiencing local life, "overnight tourism" has been sought after by many young people.
Some people posted that the reason why they chose "overnight travel" is because "the price of the National Day hotel has risen a little high" and "helpless hotels are too expensive"... Netizens usually attach photos of their own house environment, telling them the geographical location, how many rooms or the size of the area, and most of them will ask each other to love cleanliness and not damage the items in the house. Some netizens will directly tell the destination they want to change overnight, and some netizens will consider the destination based on the response to the post. After some other netizens view the post, they will communicate about the change of accommodation through comments and consultations.
In addition to using social media software such as Xiaohongshu, Xianyu, Douyin and other social media software to independently publish the demand for "changing accommodation", some netizens will exchange suitable listings through special platforms, such as "idle time and space" and "exchange travel network". Users can publish information on these platforms or apps after a simple registration, and the platform will charge a certain amount of commission after the successful exchange between the two parties.
Ms. Liu, a post-90s generation living in Shanghai, told reporters that she accidentally learned about the concept of overnight travel and found it very interesting, and if they were willing to do so, they could achieve 0 yuan check-in. "I plan to go out during the National Day holiday, the hotel price during the holiday is really a bit expensive, and I think the exchange is also a good experience."
National Day stayed at my house
New business opportunities for netizens
The rise in hotel prices has also made some netizens aim at "business opportunities", and they have posted similar posts such as "Stay at my house on National Day" on social platforms, renting out their homes for tourists to stay for short periods during the holidays.
A netizen in Changsha, Hunan Province introduced that her home has a total of three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the master bedroom lives in self-occupied during the National Day holiday, and the two second bedrooms can be rented, only accept girls, the daily rent is 188 yuan, and it has been fully booked after October 1.
The reporter found that although some netizens indicated "exchange accommodation" in the post, they were actually only renting out their own houses. For example, a netizen in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, said that "300 yuan a day to rent a self-occupied apartment, more than 3 days have a discount".
It is understood that unlike hotels and homestays, renting these self-occupied houses generally does not require a deposit, cleaning fees, no agreement to sign, and no registration of household identity information. Most owners do not provide shower gel, shampoo, bath towels, disposable toothbrushes, slippers and other standard hotel accessories.
What happens to the owner's personal belongings during the rent? Many homeowners said that valuables would be locked up, and ordinary everyday items in the home would be placed in place. "There are actually no particularly valuable items at home, and the main thing is mutual trust between netizens." A homeowner introduced that before renting, he would also chat more with netizens who came to consult, screen tenants, and only rent out if they got together.
Expert interpretation
Is it feasible to "rent out your own home" and "change for overnight travel"?
The Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday is approaching, are these innovative accommodation methods feasible?
Regarding "renting out your own home", Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejian Law Firm, reminded that "one's own house cannot be rented to tourists at will." "According to the relevant laws and regulations of the mainland, the rental of self-occupied houses needs to comply with relevant regulations.
For example, according to Article 46 of the Urban Real Estate Management Law, houses for residential purposes may not be changed in their use unless otherwise provided by laws and regulations. At the same time, according to the Measures for the Administration of Public Security in the Hotel Industry, the mainland applying to open a hotel should obtain a business license issued by the market supervision department and apply for a special industry license from the local public security organ before it is allowed to open a hotel.
Qin Jin, a judge at the Beijing No. 4 Intermediate People's Court, said that in addition to exchanging their vacant rooms for tourism, residents of some popular tourist cities will also hang their vacant houses online to carry out homestay operations at clear prices. Carrying out homestay operations through various social media software without registration is an illegal business operation, and once verified, administrative detention, fines and other punitive measures may be imposed.
Regarding "overnight tourism", Qin Jin said that "overnight exchange" itself is also a civil legal act, and the "exchange" itself is neither a completely gratuitous act of goodwill, nor a pure commercial tourism operation behavior, nor a short-term rental of housing in the traditional sense. Although the parties to the exchange replace the more common monetary consideration with the right to use each other's houses, the essence of the legal relationship between the two parties with mutual rights and obligations will not be shaken by the external novel form.
Qin Jin said that some "overnight travel" platforms have established an intermediary relationship with users, and intermediary platforms have the obligation to provide the real information related to the conclusion of the contract and conduct necessary verification of user information. According to the survey, most of these platforms are newly established, with short operating hours, small number of users, and uneven standardization of user agreements, so there are real risks in whether the platform can standardize and effectively perform intermediary obligations.
According to media reports, in the actual operation of overnight tourism, the exchange parties generally reach a verbal agreement after simply checking each other's ID cards, student cards and house photos, and will not deliberately fix the exchange agreement through a written contract, and the exchange process hides a variety of legal risks.
On the one hand, if one party runs away, "defrauded" the goods are not on the right board, etc., there will be a risk of default, and it is necessary to beware of fraud. On the other hand, it is necessary to beware of lawbreakers committing crimes under the guise of "overnight tourism". Due to the deep exchange of living places during the exchange of accommodations, if the two parties encounter robbery, sexual harassment, etc. during their solitary relationship, the exchangers are almost unable to protect their property and personal safety. If the way the exchanger opens the door is copied by the other party, then the risk of being violated will even exist for a long time.
In addition, rental housing or student dormitories that are prohibited from subletting by the agreement cannot be "exchanged". For the right to use the premises to which the exchanger does not have the right to exchange, for example, if the lease agreement expressly prohibits subletting or prohibits persons other than those registered in the agreement, the act of "exchange" may constitute a breach of contract.
Qin Jin suggested that the overnight exchange tourism needs the market platform to continuously standardize, legal and compliant operation, and also need all units to jointly build a social environment conducive to the healthy and active survival and development of the overnight exchange tourism. The most important thing is that the exchanger himself must enhance his awareness of risks and take precautions. First, sign an exchange agreement in advance and pay a deposit. Second, register items in advance, collect evidence in time in the event of a dispute and report it to the public security organ or file a lawsuit with the court. Third, it is necessary to clarify the red line of "exchange" behavior and establish a systematic legal guarantee system. Finally, try to choose a standardized overnight exchange travel platform before traveling, and verify the identity of the other party, house property rights and other information as comprehensively as possible to determine the authenticity of both parties to the house.
Hot Reviews
The credit economy needs to keep risks at bay
"National Day come to Beijing to play and stay at my home, it takes only 10 minutes to walk to Sanlitun" "National Day to Wuhan to travel to my home, only 15 minutes from Wuchang Railway Station by taxi" "National Day to travel, there is no one at home, just want to rent out for tourists"... Similar posts on social platforms show the enthusiasm of netizens; The price of the home is also lower than that of the convenient hotels nearby, which is exciting. Check-in requirements vary, some only accept accommodation exchanges, and neither party has to pay extra; Some will have requirements for gender, age, occupancy, etc. according to housing conditions; The occupancy threshold is also different, some focus on trust, and the two parties to the tenant will hit it off based on verbal agreement; Some are discreet, checking in requires checking ID and credit, and some require a deposit.
Netizens rent private houses for short periods of time, looking at business opportunities, providing services, and showing creativity. This year's ultra-long Golden Week is expected to be the hottest in history, and popular tourist cities are already hard to find. For tourists, staying in a citizen's home can not only save a large amount of accommodation costs, but also those who are not willing to eat out can also do it themselves; Besides, where can you experience urban fireworks better than residential buildings? For homeowners, renting out vacant space also increases income. If two strange parties can become friends because of this, it is an unexpected gain.
The greeting of "National Day Stay in My House" obviously needs mutual trust as a basis. Guests should truthfully explain their intentions and be kind to others and love the nest; Homeowners should be honest and inform them of the room configuration in advance. "There are no valuables at home, the main thing is the mutual trust between a netizen", "Before living, I will take photos to note the placement of objects in the other party's home, and try not to touch things in the house", such trust is the embodiment of personal qualities and the refraction of social customs. As early adopters, in fact, both parties have the responsibility to label "live in my house on National Day" with the label of trust.
Of course, the concerns of some netizens are not unreasonable. The open home model, which lies between letting and exchanging, does open the door to risk. At present, the rental of housing is recognized as a tourism service business and needs to obtain relevant approvals; If the homeowner does not obtain the relevant qualifications, there may be administrative penalties. For both the host and the occupancy, there may be legal protection difficulties. Many homeowners and travelers have neither signed agreements nor registered their identity information, and once disputes occur, they will face difficulties in defending their rights. After all, the two sides have never known each other, and there may be problems such as property loss, personal safety, and personal privacy leakage.
In recent years, activities such as exchanging special products, meeting with each other, and finding partners have become popular, reflecting to a certain extent the current young people's pursuit of the credit economy. Regulatory authorities should see the public's demand for a credit economy, improve industry norms as soon as possible, and provide faster and more convenient channels for rights protection, keep those potential risks out of the house, and ensure that innovative forms such as "National Day Stay in My Home" are stable and orderly.
No matter how luxurious a hotel is, it does not have the warmth of home, and no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not comparable to the trust between people. "National Day to live in my home", this tourist's spontaneous credit economic model needs to be protected, and the rare trust between people needs to be protected.
