The ticket price is ＂diving＂, and the peak travel can save more than 30%

　　After the curtain of "the hottest May Day holiday in history" came to an end, with the sharp drop in public travel demand, the prices of air tickets and hotels have been lowered. Many travel platforms predict that if you choose to travel at the wrong peak at this time, the public’s expenses can be saved by more than 30% compared with the May Day period.

　　Some ticket prices have "waist cut"

　　After the holiday, with the sharp drop in public travel demand, air tickets and hotel prices have "dived". According to Ctrip’s air ticket search data, before and after the May Day holiday (April 28th to May 4th), the average one-way domestic air ticket price including tax was 1,082 yuan, while the average air ticket price dropped to 760 yuan two weeks after the holiday (May 5th to May 18th), with a drop of about 30%. At the same time, hotel accommodation prices have also declined to varying degrees.

　　Most of the destinations with a high drop in air ticket prices are destinations with strong tourism attributes. According to Ctrip data, among the top 100 air ticket destinations, the top ten destinations with the highest drop in air ticket prices after May Day are Dunhuang, Sanya, Haikou, Xishuangbanna, Beihai, Lijiang, Guilin, Xi ‘an, Changsha and Zhuhai. Among them, the average price of air tickets in Dunhuang during the "May 1" period reached 1427 yuan, while the average price two weeks after the holiday only needed 668 yuan; The average price of air tickets in Sanya during the "May 1 ST" period was 1,499 yuan, and it was only 759 yuan two weeks after the holiday, and the prices were basically "half-down".

　　After the holiday, the proportion of college students traveling rebounded.

　　The recent air ticket data of Qunar.com shows that since May 4th, the air ticket prices of many domestic routes have dropped, and some routes are even lower than the high-speed rail ticket prices. For example, the direct flight ticket from Beijing to Erdos dropped to 230 yuan on May 31, Yantai to 263 yuan on May 30, Zhengzhou to 290 yuan on May 7, and Haikou to 306 yuan on May 14. Compared with the May 1 holiday, the transportation cost of traveling was greatly reduced.

　　Faced with the temptation of such price reduction, some "peak-shifting families" with flexible time began to anchor their time and prepare to go out. According to the booking data of several platforms, May 5th to the end of May is the best time for off-peak travel. Ctrip booking data shows that most of the people who choose to travel during this period are mainly white-collar workers with abundant holidays, of which the post-90 s and post-80 s account for 62%. Avoiding the crowd can not only enjoy a better experience, but also be more friendly to the wallet, so many college students also choose to carry out "special forces" travel during this time. According to the data of Qunar.com, during the period from May 5 to 30, the proportion of college students aged 18 to 22 increased, and the popular destinations were Chengdu, Changsha, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Shenzhen.

　　The price of outbound air tickets dropped significantly.

　　Recently, the price of outbound air tickets has also dropped significantly. On the Qunar.com platform, as of yesterday, the tax-included price of direct flights from Shanghai to Bangkok dropped to 1,234 yuan in May, from Shanghai to Osaka to 1,747 yuan, and from Beijing to Seoul to 1,477 yuan. Passengers with visas can "catch up". At present, visa processing is still a major restriction on outbound travel. On the Qunar.com platform, outbound air tickets are often booked more than one month in advance, so as to reserve time for visa application and travel planning. As of May 4th, passengers have booked air tickets for outbound travel during the Dragon Boat Festival. The popular destinations are Bangkok, Hong Kong, China, Seoul, Macao, China and Kuala Lumpur. Among them, on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday (June 22nd), the tax-included price of direct flights from Beijing to Seoul is 2008 yuan, from Shanghai to Bangkok is 1722 yuan, and from Guangzhou to Kuala Lumpur is 1209 yuan.

　　Xie Xiaoqing, a senior researcher at Ctrip Tourism Research Institute, said that due to seasonal supply and demand factors, the ticket price was higher during the May 1 ST period. Consumers with holidays can seize the off-season travel after the May 1 ST and before the summer vacation to enjoy low-cost benefits and play comfort. Xiao Peng, a researcher at Qunar.com’s Big Data Research Institute, said: "The rapid recovery of domestic travel demand has led to the increase in air ticket prices, and air tickets have once again become the most important expenditure item in travel consumption. Judging from the search volume of Qunar. com, there are still a large number of passengers who have travel needs who failed to travel during the May Day holiday, which means that the Dragon Boat Festival, summer vacation and ‘ Eleven ’ On the eve of the holiday, the ticket price will not drop further. It is recommended that passengers with travel plans compare prices and purchase tickets as soon as possible to reduce travel costs. " According to Beijing Youth Daily
