Comments on the Five Changes in the Tourism Mode of Literary Tours

Recently, I participated in many activities, had in-depth exchanges with colleagues in the industry, and summed up five main points about the changes in current tourism modes to share with you.

The first change lies in the change of travel mode, and more people prefer free travel, small group and family travel. Compared with traditional OTA and e-commerce platforms, it tends to focus on short videos and pay attention to word-of-mouth communication. With the rapid rise of Tik Tok, it has put some pressure on Meituan and Ctrip.

Secondly, the travel radius is polarized. Short-distance travel mainly focuses on the range of half an hour to one hour, while long-distance travel covers Xinjiang, Qinghai, Tibet and other places, and even extends to foreign countries.

The third aspect focuses on two groups of tourists who have attracted much attention. One is family travel driven by the needs of parents and children, and the other is group tours or free travel for the elderly.

Fourthly, it involves the evolution of travel themes. Many traditional themes have been re-hyped this year. Outdoor, hiking and cycling are obviously popular, and the explosion of jackets is one of the manifestations.

Finally, the travel budget, air tickets generally rose by 50%, and the price increase at the resource end led to an increase in the overall travel cost. There were significant differences in class differentiation and consumption classification, and the middle class consumption was degraded. Travel colleagues need to adjust their business strategies and respond flexibly according to market trends to ensure their competitiveness in the current market environment.
