as the mid-autumn festival approaches, the tourism market will once again usher in a small peak. on september 3, ctrip released its 2024 mid-autumn festival tourism forecast, showing that although this year's mid-autumn festival tourism market is not as lively as the summer vacation, it still shows unique charm and potential. in particular, the popularity of combined holiday travel not only provides tourists with cost-effective travel options, but also allows them to avoid peak periods to a certain extent, becoming a highlight of this year's mid-autumn festival tourism.

taking a mid-autumn festival holiday can save billions

some routes can save more than half of the fare by delaying departure by one day

compared with the summer vacation just past, the travel cost-effectiveness during this year's mid-autumn festival is relatively high. according to data from flightai, a market insight platform under ctrip, the average price of a one-way domestic air ticket during the mid-autumn festival, including tax, is about 770 yuan, which is about 25% lower than last year's mid-autumn festival and the three days before national day.

the tourism market shows a noticeable small peak around the mid-autumn festival holiday because some tourists choose to travel earlier or later to avoid the peak and enjoy a more comfortable, personalized and cost-effective journey by combining holidays.

for example, the ctrip travel app shows that, for example, the price of a one-way ticket from shanghai to dali departing one day in advance can be up to 30% cheaper than departing on the first day of the holiday. and if you postpone the holiday and depart on the second day of the holiday, you can even save nearly 60% of the cost.
