The Mid Autumn Festival and National Day holiday lasted for 8 consecutive days, and the tourism market has become popular again. According to the "Mid Autumn Festival and National Day Tourism Forecast Report" released by Ctrip, as of September 13th, both domestic and outbound tourism during the "National Day" holiday have become popular, and products such as air tickets, scenic spots, hotels, and group tours have entered the peak booking period.

Among them, the number of bookings for domestic tourism products during the National Day holiday increased by 88% compared to the previous week, with a year-on-year increase of over four times. Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Xi'an, Chongqing, Nanjing, Shenzhen, and Changsha are among the top ten popular tourist destinations during the National Day holiday. Due to the hosting of the Asian Games, the overall order booking volume for the 11th National Day holiday in Hangzhou has increased by more than 5 times year-on-year. Among them, the booking volume for air tickets has increased by nearly 5 times year-on-year, and the booking volume for hotels has increased by more than 8 times year-on-year.

In addition, the growth rate of bookings in "new first tier" cities such as Tianjin, Wuhan, Zhengzhou, and Suzhou is also relatively high, all increasing by more than five times compared to the same period last year.

Long holidays have provided favorable conditions for the popularity of long-distance travel. On the National Day of 2023, the proportion of inter provincial travel orders reached 73%, an increase of ten percentage points from the same period in 2022. Nearly 20% of users chose to stay for three consecutive days or more. The popular destinations for long-term travel are mainly concentrated in the northwest region suitable for autumn tours, such as Burqin, Urumqi, Lanzhou, Dunhuang, as well as the pleasant climate of Sanya, Guangzhou, Xiamen and other places in southern China.

Did the No.2 railway 12306 collapse?

Railway tickets are difficult to buy during peak holiday travel, and this year's Mid Autumn Festival and National Day have set a record. On September 15th, which is the train ticket sales day of the National Day holiday, keywords such as "unable to grab tickets" and "12306 collapsed" made it to the hot search early in the morning. Tickets in many directions are sold out immediately upon opening.

What's even more exaggerated is that even if you grab tickets for October 1st on September 17th, many routes are sold out immediately after opening, and the only remaining routes with tickets still show queuing after clicking to purchase. Sometimes, after queuing for a few minutes, it shows queuing failure, and passengers have to choose again.

According to the prediction of the railway department, more passengers will choose to travel by railway during the National Day holiday this year than in previous years. Therefore, the railway department also adopts peak operating schedules and adds trains in popular directions. However, it seems that the number of additional trains is still not enough.

In response, China Railway Group stated that passengers who have not purchased tickets can choose to purchase tickets as a substitute. In addition to being automatically replaced when someone refunds their ticket, the railway department will also add carriages or additional trains to meet the travel needs of passengers.
