How do you view the gradual opening up of Sanya’s tourism industry?

With the optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies,

Some people have already set out, while others are still waiting and watching.

The hotel and tourism markets have also ushered in new developments.

Among them, Hainan tourism is the first to show signs.

According to data from Hangzhou Travel, during the New Year’s Day holiday, the number one popular domestic route was Beijing-Sanya.

Between December 12 and December 18, 2022, the number of air tickets and hotel bookings from Beijing to Sanya on the Ctrip platform increased by 46% and 30% year-on-year, and the average air ticket price increased by 14% year-on-year.

The first wave of "Yangkang" has taken off

Ms. Chen, who now lives in Beijing, is the first wave of positive patients after the relaxation. After recuperating at home for a week, it finally turned cloudy. On December 20, as an account manager of an advertising and public relations company, she was arranged by the company to go on a business trip to Sanya.

She told Jiemian News that "there were many more people than expected" at the airport.

The direct flight ticket purchased by Ms. Chen from Beijing to Sanya cost about 1,500 yuan. Qunar platform data shows that the average price paid for economy class air tickets on domestic routes departing from Beijing in the past three days was 698 yuan, compared with a week ago. The growth reached 20%.

Sanya, Chengdu, Haikou, Chongqing and Shanghai are the preferred destinations for passengers departing from December 19th to 21st. Take the Beijing-Sanya route as an example. On the 17th and 18th, there were still many non-stop tickets priced around 1,500 yuan. On the 21st, the prices of the remaining tickets had risen to around 1,800/1,900 yuan, and they had to be purchased from Daxing. When departing from the airport, you can only carry a small amount of luggage.

Many people said that the price of air tickets increased by two to three hundred yuan in just one or two days from when they considered setting off to when they made the decision.

In terms of self-driving travel, Ctrip data shows that from December 12 to December 18, car rental bookings increased by more than 30% from the previous week (December 5 to December 11), year-on-year. An increase of 25%.

In terms of awareness of epidemic prevention, Ms. Chen said that passengers on the plane paid great attention to protection. Most of them wore N95 masks, and some even wore face shields. However, you can often hear people coughing on the plane. Ms. Chen said that she had been "passed" and believed that antibodies already existed in her body, so she was not too worried about reinfection. However, for safety reasons, she would still use alcohol spray for disinfection.

After Ms. Chen arrived in Sanya, she found that there were not many people at the airport. Many passengers were traveling with their families, and large-capacity commercial vehicles were mainly used on the road.
