Domestic Tourism Is Gradually Recovering, And It Is Difficult To Find A Ticket For Luxury Train Tours in Inner Mongolia And Xinjiang

High-end train tours are quietly emerging in China. Although the price is 51,999 yuan per person, the most expensive ticket on the New Oriental Express traveling around Xinjiang in 2022 will be fully booked within half a month. The trains started in July, and the tickets for the Hulunbuir, which traveled through Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang, priced at more than 20,000 yuan, were sold out after half a month of ticket sales.

Jimu News reporters learned that the popularity of high-end train travel is only the tip of the iceberg of the recovery of domestic tourism. As the epidemic eases and the summer vacation is approaching, both the supply and demand sides of the tourism industry are showing signs of recovery. Taking Xinjiang as an example, the number of tourists received by Tarim Lake Scenic Spot has reached a record high recently. The number of tourists received from July 1 to 10 in Dali, Yunnan has been on par with last year's Golden Week.

Zhang Dexin, executive director of the China Academy of Cultural Tourism Innovation and Entrepreneurship, analyzed that the tourism industry is recovering rapidly in areas without epidemics such as Xinjiang and Dali. The "November" Golden Week and the Spring Festival in the second half of the year will be an important opportunity for tourism companies to recover. Cheng Chaogong, a researcher at the Tongcheng Tourism Research Institute, analyzed that the resumption of work and production in the tourism industry has accelerated since June. Under the influence of the epidemic, residents' tourism consumption is completely focused on the country, and the emerging niche and "long tail" demand will also push the high quality development of the domestic tourism industry into a new stage.
