Today's data selection: 99% of Valentine's Day roses are fake; official response to Sanya air ticket increase

In response to the increase in air tickets in Sanya, officials have coordinated to increase transport capacity and advised tourists to leave the island from Haikou or by boat.

Halfway through the Spring Festival holiday, the problem of difficulty in returning to Hainan and leaving the island has aroused concern. Some netizens reported that air ticket prices from Sanya to many domestic cities have increased significantly, with some even exceeding 10,000 yuan, and the remaining tickets are very tight.

It is understood that passenger flow to Hainan will increase significantly during the Spring Festival in 2024, with an overall year-on-year increase of more than 30%. Air tickets to the island before the festival and out of the island during the festival and after the festival are in short supply. The peak passenger flow to the island has been reached on February 13, and the peak passenger flow is expected It will last until around February 19th. Affected by market supply and demand, air tickets are relatively tight during peak passenger flow periods. Air tickets from Hainan to major domestic destination cities have been basically sold out before February 16.

Zhou Xinghua, Director of the Industry Management and Safety Supervision Division of the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports: According to our understanding from the airlines, the price of economy class tickets for Hainan outbound islands should basically be within a reasonable range. Most tourists who come to Hainan have booked round-trip air tickets before coming, so the air tickets they booked should be within a reasonable range. The remaining air tickets now are basically business class and first class, and the prices are relatively high.

The first is to coordinate with airlines to increase transport capacity, and the second is to suggest that tourists take flights from Haikou to leave the island, as there are relatively many flights and the prices are relatively cheap. In addition, we suggest that tourists can also go to the new seaport to leave the island by boat. We are also coordinating the new seaport to increase transport capacity, so that the cost for tourists to leave the island will be significantly reduced.
