With the 2024 Qingming holiday approaching, the flow of people in major scenic spots is expected to usher in a new peak. According to Tuniu's 2024 Qingming Tourism Consumption Forecast Report, tourists in Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing and other cities are particularly enthusiastic about traveling, with 2-3 days of peripheral or short-distance tours becoming the mainstream choice, accounting for more than 60%.
Flower viewing activities are popular among tourists, and the popularity of plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, rape flowers and other flower-viewing tours continues to rise. At the same time, the tourism popularity of emerging destinations such as Jingdezhen, Yanbian, Zibo and other places increased by more than 200% year-on-year, becoming the new favorite. Some tourists have chosen to extend their vacations, and the number of bookings for domestic long-haul and outbound travel has increased significantly, especially in destinations such as Thailand, Japan and South Korea.
In the face of the upcoming peak of passenger flow, the transportation departments in many places have made preparations in advance and opened additional special lines for picnics and flower viewing to ensure smooth travel for passengers. Travel platforms such as Fliggy and Ctrip have also launched special routes and travel products to meet the travel needs of different tourists. At the same time, some scenic spots have also launched special activities such as "Qingming Bazaar", flying graffiti kites, and planting willows during Qingming to provide tourists with a richer experience.
It is worth mentioning that with the popularization of the concept of civilized sacrifice, new types of sacrifice methods such as online sacrifice and valet sacrifice have gradually emerged, providing more choices for tourists.
The surge in the flow of people in major scenic spots during the Qingming holiday is a foregone conclusion. However, by planning ahead, planning their itinerary wisely, choosing the right destination, and taking advantage of the benefits and special activities of the travel platform, tourists can still enjoy a pleasant travel experience. At the same time, the proactive response measures of relevant departments and tourism platforms will also help ensure the safety of tourists and improve the quality of tourism. In this spring season, why not get outside and feel the beauty and charm of nature!
