Is it true that South Korea is cold during the May Day holiday?

In May 1 day, the number of Korean tourists was only 14% of last year.

Flying pig tourism shows that the total number of outbound tourists in May 20 17 1 day is basically the same as last year, and Japan, Europe, the United States, Thailand, Taiwan Province Province, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Indonesia are the top ten overseas destinations favored by tourists in May this year. Affected by the Sadr incident, the number of visitors to Korea was only 65,438+04% of the same period in 2065,438+06.

At the same time, on May 1 this year, tourists' choices of outbound destinations are more dispersed, and the niche "long tail" destinations that emphasize individuality are becoming more and more popular among tourists. This year's "May 1" top ten most popular unpopular destinations include North Africa, Morocco and Tunisia; Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Peru in Central and South America; West Asia and Central and Eastern Europe countries Israel, Serbia and Estonia. Other popular minority destinations include Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Jordan and Pakistan.

The warming of minority destinations is mainly affected by the favorable visa and transportation brought by the "Belt and Road" policy. Morocco, the most sought-after minority destination on May 1 this year, benefited from the visa-free treatment for China citizens to travel to Morocco last June. The direct flight from Beijing to Tel Aviv was opened at the end of April last year, and the ten-year business tourist visa for China citizens to Israel was opened in June, 5438+0 1, which greatly facilitated the procedures for business visits and cultural tourists to Israel under the upsurge of innovation and entrepreneurship.

One week before the May Day holiday, the Danish Embassy in China sent an emergency call for help to China tourists because of the "oyster flooding", which aroused the concern of Denmark and its neighboring Nordic countries. Although it was accused of marketing, it also boosted the enthusiasm of China tourists to visit northern Europe during the May Day holiday to some extent.

According to the May Day outbound travel data of Tongcheng, the demand for travel to destinations such as Northern Europe and Eastern Europe increased significantly within one week before and after the holiday.

In fact, last year (20 16), the number of Ctrip tourists to Denmark increased by more than 50% year-on-year. According to Ctrip, Northern Europe was originally one of the fastest growing regions in Europe this year, and Denmark is expected to become the dark horse of European tourism this year.
