data from tongcheng travel platform shows that september 29 and 30 are the peak departure passenger flow periods before the national day holiday for railways and civil aviation nationwide. tickets for popular routes are "hard to come by" and air ticket prices are relatively high during the entire holiday. compared with large cities, the popularity of train and air ticket bookings in county-level cities and popular small airport cities has increased more than on weekdays. the "separation" of mid-autumn festival and national day has a certain impact on travel demand during this year's national day holiday, and the proportion of young customers has increased.
the passenger flow of railway and civil aviation departing during the national day holiday is concentrated in first-tier cities, and changsha ranks sixth among the most popular railway arrival cities
data from tongcheng travel platform shows that september 29 and 30 are the peak departure times before the national day holiday for railways nationwide, mainly because a large number of passengers choose to take a 2-3 day leave before the holiday to start their holiday travel in advance. the most popular departure cities before the holiday on tongcheng travel platform are: beijing, guangzhou, shenzhen, shanghai, chengdu, xi'an, chongqing, zhengzhou, wuhan, hangzhou, etc., which are mainly first-tier cities and regional central cities. the most popular arrival cities are: beijing, chongqing, guangzhou, xi'an, chengdu, changsha, zhengzhou, wuhan, shenzhen, shanghai.
ticket bookings for the national day holiday have also entered a peak in recent days, with the popularity of domestic popular routes departing on september 29 and 30 rising rapidly. the most popular domestic routes on tongcheng travel are: shanghai-guangzhou, guangzhou-shanghai, beijing-shanghai, beijing-chengdu, shenzhen-shanghai, shanghai-beijing, beijing-shenzhen, shanghai-shenzhen, shenzhen-beijing, chengdu-beijing, etc. overall, the most popular routes are those at first-tier airports and regional hub airports.
in terms of ticket prices, air tickets for popular routes departing on september 30 and october 1 are relatively high, and the average price of air tickets to first-tier cities and major central cities on the last day of the holiday will reach a peak.
structurally, the cities that are popular for railway and civil aviation arrivals before the holiday have a high degree of overlap with the popular tourist destinations during this year's national day holiday. according to the national day holiday travel forecast released by tongcheng travel, beijing, chongqing, shanghai, xi'an, chengdu, changsha and other cities are all popular tourist destinations during this year's national day holiday.
in response to the strong travel demand during the national day golden week, tongcheng travel launched relevant travel benefits for railway and civil aviation passengers, namely free airport pick-up and drop-off services 10 kilometers before departure and free train pick-up and drop-off services 5 kilometers before departure. the activity covers many popular cities such as shanghai, guangzhou, chengdu, chongqing, hangzhou, xi'an, and nanjing.
the popularity of booking county-level high-speed rail tickets and small-airport city air tickets has increased significantly
data from tongcheng travel platform shows that the county tourism boom is expected to continue during the national day holiday, and will be superimposed on the flow of tourists visiting relatives in county-level cities, thereby pushing up the popularity of high-speed rail bookings in relevant county-level cities. so far, the county-level cities or districts with high popularity in train ticket bookings during the national day holiday mainly include kunshan, zhangqiu, humen, rongcheng, shilin, etc. most of them are county-level cities located around central cities or county-level towns with well-known scenic spots.
in addition, small airport cities with rich tourism resources also have high arrival flight booking popularity during the national day holiday, such as dunhuang, datong, altay, dali, lijiang, etc. county destinations and small airport cities have a relatively large increase in train ticket and air ticket booking popularity during the holiday compared with weekdays.
"visiting relatives during mid-autumn festival and traveling during national day", the proportion of young tourists traveling during this year's national day holiday has increased
the "separation" of the mid-autumn festival and national day this year has changed people's travel decisions to a certain extent. data from tongcheng travel platform shows that compared with the same period last year, the proportion of young people aged 17 to 30 among passengers traveling during the national day holiday this year has increased, while the proportion of people over 50 has decreased. in addition, the proportion of multi-person travel demand traveling with people of the same age has also increased. an important reason for this change is that the mid-autumn festival diverted some of the demand for visiting relatives in advance, while the national day holiday can be used for long-term travel and vacation.
the change in the structure of the travel population will also bring some new changes to tourism consumption during this year's national day holiday. according to the national day holiday travel data released by tongcheng travel, destinations that are popular among young people, such as altay, diqing, yuxi, aba in sichuan, and jiuquan, are very popular and have become "dark horses" among holiday travel destinations. the tourism boom in shanxi, triggered by the popular game "black myth: wukong", will continue to be sought after by young tourists during the national day holiday.
