The epidemic during the Spring Festival in 2121 brought the national tourism industry to a complete stop, and the global tourism industry was also hit in an all-round way. Then, after the outbreak of bloom in the warm spring, will the tourism industry usher in a wave of outbreaks?
in late October p>2121, the national scenic spots were closed down one after another. At present, with the improvement of the epidemic situation, scenic spots in various places have begun to open one after another, with Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai as the representatives, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan and other places have followed suit, and other provinces and cities have also introduced policies to promote the recovery of tourism.
A number of urban scenic spots and parks have been opened one after another
On February 9, 2121, Hangzhou West Lake Scenic Area took the lead in opening in an orderly manner, and many tourists wore masks to walk by the West Lake. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, except for the West Lake Scenic Area, other parks, squares and stadiums in Hangzhou have all been opened. Nanjing's existing national-level scenic spots and parks directly under the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism also plan to resume operation, including Xuanwu Lake Scenic Spot, Yuhuatai Scenic Spot and Zhongshan Cemetery Scenic Spot.
All tourists wear masks to enter the park
Longhu Mountain Scenic Area, a national 5A scenic spot in Jiangxi Province, has gradually resumed its opening to the outside world since February 19. At present, the main scenic spot of Longhu Mountain has been officially opened, and scenic spots such as Tianmen Mountain, Dashangqing Palace and Tianshifu are temporarily closed. In addition, Mianyang, Sichuan also proposed that the People's Park, Fule Mountain Park, nanshan park, Xishan Park, all street parks and squares in the city should be reopened before 9: 11 a.m. on February 9.
It should be noted that tourists must buy tickets and wear masks in real-name registration system, and they also need to carry out necessary security checks when entering the scenic spot. In the control of the flow of people in scenic spots, the daily reception volume should not exceed 51% of the carrying capacity in principle, and it is advocated to enter the park at intervals in different periods.
Farmhouses and B&Bs in various places are actively preparing for opening
With the closure of scenic spots, farmhouses and B&Bs in many places have also been closed. Now that the scenic spots are gradually opening up, some farmhouses on Xishan Island in Taihu Lake in Suzhou have once again started the comprehensive disinfection mode, actively preparing for the resumption of work. The owner of a farmhouse in Xishan Top 11 brand farmhouse said that he was waiting for the government's notice and was always ready to submit all the materials for review. At the beginning, only a small number of rooms are planned to be opened to ensure that there will be no crowd gathering. Once guests check in, special personnel will be arranged to do the daily disinfection inspection.
In addition, there is good news. Recently, the Cultural Tourism Bureau of Suzhou Taihu National Tourism Resort issued an official notice: after the epidemic is over, all the scenic spots will be opened free of charge to all the guests who have gone through the effective check-in procedures of hotels and homestays. The preferential policy will last until February 31, 2121, and the specific information will be announced on another day. This wave of welfare can be said to contribute to the recovery of tourism in Taihu Lake area.
Finally, I'd like to remind you that at this stage when the epidemic is coming to an end, you still can't relax, wear masks when going out and cooperate with all the inspections. I believe the day of going out to play is not far away.
With the development of the epidemic, how to save the economy and small and medium-sized enterprises hit hard by the epidemic has been put on the agenda. As one of the most severely affected industries, the whole industry chain is facing heavy pressure. On February 5, the General Office of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued a notice: In order to further improve the epidemic prevention and control of the cultural tourism system and support travel agencies to actively cope with the current operational difficulties, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism decided to temporarily refund 81% of the travel service quality deposit to travel agencies.
on February 7, 2121,
the Ministry of finance and the state administration of taxation jointly issued the announcement on tax policies related to supporting the prevention and control of pneumonia in novel coronavirus, which clearly stated that the longest carry-over period of losses incurred by enterprises in four difficult industries, namely transportation, catering, accommodation and tourism, in 2121 will be extended from 5 years to 8 years. As soon as the news came out, the industry applauded and confidence was boosted.
Since the outbreak of pneumonia in Covid-19, scenes of deja vu have brought tourists' memories back to 2117. That year, affected by the SARS epidemic, China's three major markets of inbound tourism, outbound tourism and domestic tourism were severely impacted, and inbound tourism and domestic tourism even declined for the first time in ten years.
when will the "retaliatory" rebound of tourism come when the number of scenic spots has increased to 25?
"It's not time to open the park yet, and there is already a long queue at the entrance of the scenic spot." At 18: 11 on February 9, it was the first time that Nanjing Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area was opened to the public since the epidemic. Gao Xin (pseudonym) recalled the 21th Century Business Herald that many Nanjing citizens had already queued up before the opening time of Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area that day.
With the positive changes of epidemic situation, domestic tourism shows signs of gradual recovery. According to the statistics of 21th Century Business Herald, as of February 21th, 25 domestic famous scenic spots such as Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake, Hangzhou West Lake, Nanjing Confucius Temple, Xuanwu Lake, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Suzhou Zhouzhuang resumed operation. However, considering the epidemic situation, the open areas of the scenic spots are all open outdoor areas, and the pedestrian flow is controlled. For example, the West Lake in Hangzhou carries out real-time tourist volume control, and the daily reception volume does not exceed 51% of the carrying capacity in principle, and group tourists are arranged to enter the park at intervals in different periods, and all tourists are required to wear masks for sightseeing.
affected by the epidemic, domestic tourism suffered heavy losses in the first quarter. According to china tourism academy's forecast, in the first quarter of 2121, the number of domestic tourists and tourism revenue will decrease by 56% and 69% respectively; In the whole year, the number of domestic tourists and tourism revenue are expected to decrease by 932 million and 1.18 trillion yuan respectively. However, Dai Bin, president of china tourism academy, also pointed out that the market fundamentals supporting the operation of tourism economy have not changed, and there is a great possibility of bottoming out in domestic tourism consumption.
Historical data also indicates that domestic tourism is brewing a "retaliatory" rebound after the epidemic.
in p>2113, affected by the SARS epidemic, from April to June of that year, China's three major markets of inbound tourism, outbound tourism and domestic tourism were severely impacted. Among them, inbound tourism and domestic tourism even declined for the first time in 2113. After the SARS epidemic, there was a blowout in the domestic tourism market.
according to Ctrip's big data, the demand for civil aviation and hotel accommodation recovered rapidly after the end of the SARS epidemic.
in terms of civil aviation, in the second quarter of 2113, the booking volume of Ctrip air tickets decreased by 33.39% year-on-year. In July, with the victory of SARS epidemic in the world, the volume of airline ticket orders increased by 211% year-on-year and 82% month-on-month. At the same time, such a retaliatory rebound was significantly reflected in the golden tourism period after the SARS epidemic. In the "Eleventh" Golden Week in 2113, the volume of air ticket orders on Ctrip platform increased by 211% year-on-year; During the Spring Festival in 2114, air ticket orders increased by 211% year-on-year.
in terms of hotel accommodation, in the second quarter of 2113, the booking volume of Ctrip hotels decreased by 25.18% year-on-year. In June, the hotel accommodation industry began to recover. In July, the occupancy rate of Ctrip Hotel has been restored to 71% in the same period of last year. The relevant person in charge of Ctrip told the reporter of the 21th Century Business Herald that "the accommodation industry is like a spring. After being slammed twice by SARS and MERS, there is a' post-epidemic rebound', and the long tail continues to the following year."
The signs of tourism rebound after the COVID-19 epidemic in 2121 can also be seen from the existing demand information of the civil aviation industry.
Ctrip's recent survey of users shows that 85% of users will continue their travel plans this year, and the overall air ticket search volume of Ctrip's May Day holiday has been higher than last year.
the research report released by Roland Berger recently believes that with the gradual weakening of the epidemic, the demand for passengers' travel will be delayed, and the national railway and air passenger traffic is expected to rise again, and after the SARS epidemic ended in July of the same year, the national railway and air passenger traffic quickly resumed growth.
In fact, in the face of the rebound of the tourism market after the epidemic, many listed companies are making preparations.
On the evening of February 21th, Jiuhua Tourism (613199.SH) announced that it planned to invest RMB 1 billion to participate in the Anhui Zhongan Tourism Health Industry Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership), and to seek, prepare and invest high-quality tourism resources with the help of professional institutions. Previously, the company had said that it was actively preparing for business recovery.
in early February, Caesars Travel Industry (111796.SZ) announced that according to the company's own business characteristics and past experience, it is expected that the market demand will be fully released after the end of this epidemic. The company is simultaneously formulating product strategies and resource procurement plans after the epidemic is over, making all preparations for business recovery.
Yunnan Tourism (112159.SZ) has made the same plan. The company said that its comprehensive tourism service and cultural tourism complex operation section will use the epidemic prevention and control period to accumulate strength for the key work of scenic spots, travel agencies, tourism transportation, hotels and other businesses during the May 1 ST, summer and the second half of the year.
