Dragon Boat Festival

The tourism market trend forecast of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday which was released by the National Tourism Administration in 2010 shows that the Dragon Boat Festival Expo will reach an unprecedented peak of passenger flow.

"Almost all travel agencies are busy receiving Expo visitors."

Although the number of the total number of travel agencies has been increasing, there are obvious differences between them.

As a travel agency official revealed, the number of Expo visitors received by the travel agency is three or four more than that of the May 1 golden week.

Due to the increasing number of tourists, the resources of the city's housing, pportation vehicles and tour guides are becoming more and more intense.

A travel agency in Beijing revealed that the date of departure of the travel agency's entry to the Expo site has been scheduled for July, and the price has increased by 20% over the May 1 period.

Citizens make sofa at home.

A head of a travel agency in Shanghai revealed that although the price of the short trip tour was flat last year, some people were worried about the traffic. Some of the citizens wanted to see their relatives and friends at home. Some of them were dragged behind by the world cup and chose to stay at home.

Judging from the medium and long term line, although the price of hotel accommodation in other tourist attractions is relatively cheap this year, the fare of Shanghai entry and exit routes has risen sharply, and the actual cost has increased slightly.

Reporters learned that, driven by World Expo, Shanghai's entry and exit routes are particularly prominent. Especially before the 13 th of this month, some popular airline tickets have been hard to find.

Before June 13th, flights from Shanghai to Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Qingdao and other places were mainly priced at full price.

Ticketing agencies have said that World Expo, Shanghai is the hottest destination, and Shanghai's outbound air tickets are more affected by travel demand. Generally speaking, the 13 day peak and 16 day return peak prices are high, and the flights will generally decrease after 14 days afternoon, and prices will drop.
