According to the data of Donkey Mama Travel Network, the number of outbound tourists on the platform on May 1 is 2.8 times that of the same period of last year, and the growth of parent-child tours and cruise tours is more significant. The direction of outbound travel is still dominated by Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and America, and there are relatively many tourists who choose 5-7 days.

Japan, Thailand and the Philippines are the most popular.

Where do you like to go for May Day outbound tour? According to donkey mother's data, Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, the United States, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Maldives and Greece are among the top ten destinations for this holiday.

Among them, Southeast Asia has benefited from rich island holiday resources, visa-free and China-ASEAN Tourism Cooperation Year, and related routes are particularly popular. The direction of Japan is based on classic routes such as Honshu, Kyoto, Tokyo city sightseeing tour, Okinawa seaside holiday and shopping tour. Cruise tour is the icing on the cake. Short-term outbound tourists account for more than 60% of the total outbound tourists. Among them, the short-term parent-child outbound travel increased by 5 times year-on-year, and the performance was particularly eye-catching.

In the choice of popular routes, the booking volume of cruise tours and mid-to high-end theme routes has increased rapidly. The data shows that the number of cruise tourists has increased sixfold compared with last year. After the Spring Festival, Qingming and other holidays, the growth rate continues to lead the market segments and become the trend of national holidays. At the same time, routes with world-famous natural heritage and international famous schools are also particularly popular. Feeling the charm of nature and immersed in the influence of culture, many white-collar workers choose to recharge their batteries and improve themselves during the May Day holiday. Mama Donkey's staff told reporters that such lines on its platform increased by 163% year-on-year. Among them, American tour products including Yellowstone National Park and Antelope Canyon, and British routes including Oxford and Cambridge famous schools and British Museum are particularly popular.

After careful calculation, the price of small holiday outbound travel is not high.

In recent years, traveling on a short holiday has become the living standard of China people. On may day, there is no need to specially arrange to return home to sweep graves like Qingming. Through the combination of 3+X, for most people, time is more abundant, and outbound travel bookings have blowout. According to the data of donkey mother, most tourists travel for 5-7 days during the May Day holiday, and about 30% choose to travel three days before the holiday. Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Changzhou, Nanjing and Hefei rank among the top ten popular tourist destinations.

In addition to relatively abundant time, high cost performance is also an important reason for May Day travel. April and May are the off-season of tourism in a year, and the price of May Day outbound travel has not changed much compared with weekdays. Although a few classic routes have an increase of 10%, the price/performance ratio is still considerable under the discount of travel agencies.

In view of the fiery phenomenon of outbound travel during the May Day holiday, Wang Xiaosong, CEO of Donkey Mama, also reminded that there have been many overseas safety accidents recently, and special attention should be paid to personal and property safety when traveling. In addition, in order to meet the in-depth demand of domestic tourists for cultural tourism, Mama Donkey has also stepped up innovation and launched a series of customized cultural packages, such as "Re-taking the Silk Road, Iranian Photography Tour", "Bangkok, Thailand, Entering the Magic Youth Health Tour" and "Walking with Britain-Summer Camp in British Private Boarding Schools".
