In August of this year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced the third batch of countries and regions to resume outbound group tours, and the tourism popularity of major outbound destinations worldwide has rapidly increased. Due to the time cycle required for tourism planning and visa application, the outbound tourism market only rapidly heats up during the summer season and will experience a small peak in passenger flow during this year's Mid Autumn Festival and National Day golden week.
In addition to traditional online travel platforms, more and more consumers are learning about destination hotels through new forms such as live streaming and videos, and placing orders directly on corresponding platforms. Taking the "Golden Autumn Live Festival" launched by the weekend hotel APP as an example, the platform launched a number of popular hotels to make live recommendations on Tiktok and WeChat video accounts every day, and the sales volume of a live broadcast can reach 300000 to 400000 yuan. Among them, more than 1100 people have made reservations for a single live broadcast of Banyan Tree in Mount Huangshan, and more than one thousand of them have been made live broadcast of two-hour shop visits by Suzhou Hengli Resort Hotel.
