Dragon Boat Festival tickets are cheaper than last year, and some popular tourist routes still have special fares.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, June 4 (Reporter Qiu Yu) "During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday this year, the ticket price is very close to the people." The reporter learned from Ctrip and other online travel websites that at present, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places can also find special air tickets to popular tourist destinations. When choosing non-popular tourist destinations such as Quanzhou, the ticket price is 50% cheaper than the same period of last year.

　　"Going south" to watch dragon boat races is popular.

　　It is understood that during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday this year, the overall ticket price was lower than the May Day holiday, and it was much cheaper than the same period last year, with a drop of about 5%.

　　"As soon as the news of the 4-day holiday on May Day came out, the tourism fever exceeded other small holidays. Due to the influence of nearly 200 million tourists, the air ticket resources became very tight, which in turn made the air ticket price rise rapidly. The situation of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is different. It is in the off-season of the civil aviation market, and the ticket price has generally declined. " Ctrip air ticket booking experts said.

　　This has greatly stimulated people’s willingness to travel. A report released by Ctrip shows that nearly 100 million people are expected to travel during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday this year.

　　Ctrip ticket big data shows that up to now, the top ten cities for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Chongqing and Xi ‘an.

　　In the choice of destination, "going south" has become a popular choice. Sanya, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Chengdu, Beijing, Chongqing, Zhuhai, Xi ‘an and Hangzhou are the top ten destination cities for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and other neighboring countries and regions are still the main destinations for outbound travel.

　　Some analysts say that dragon boat racing is one of the important customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which is more common in southern China. Therefore, many people are keen to fly to the south to spend the Dragon Boat Festival and feel the traditional folk culture.

　　It is more cost-effective to fly to "unpopular" destinations such as Quanzhou.

　　According to reports, the peak of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is concentrated on the day before and the first day of the holiday, that is, June 6 and 7, of which the ticket departing on the 6 th is the most sought after.

　　However, the reporter inquired about online travel websites such as Ctrip on June 3 and found that during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, Beijing and other places set off, and the ticket sources of popular routes are relatively abundant at present, and cheaper air tickets can still be bought during some departure times.
