Recently, despite the widespread moaning of the economic downturn, the specter of hard work, reduced income, and even layoffs seems to be hanging over people's minds.
However, in stark contrast, the tourism market in 2023 presents a hot scene, as if a bright color is dotted on the gray picture. Cities such as Zibo and Harbin have become popular check-in destinations, attracting a large number of tourists to flock to it. Whether it is the May Day holiday or the summer vacation, the number of tourists continues to grow, and scenic spots and popular tourist destinations are often overcrowded with tourists.
This makes people wonder, is it really poor and has no money or is it pretending to be poor? In the face of such a grand occasion, there is indeed no sign of economic downturn.
Some speculate that the reason for this phenomenon is that people have changed their travel methods, choosing domestic travel instead of overseas travel, giving up independent travel in favor of group travel. Rich or poor, people have a desire to get out and about. Nowadays, the elderly group accounts for the largest proportion of tourism, with the increasing elderly population, the number of tourists is naturally growing, especially for the elderly tourism market is very hot.
It was also pointed out that there are differences between men and women in terms of consumption outlook and sense of responsibility, but they both spend money, so how can they support their families in such a situation? In a family, at least one of the men and women should have a sense of responsibility to take care of the family.
There is also a saying that as a country with a large population, as long as some people travel abroad, the overall market will look lively. This does make sense, given that some countries do not have as many people as a province in China.
In addition, most people choose to travel on a budget, and even if they are short of money, they will find some ways to save money, such as a person, a train ticket, a simple homestay, and some free scenic spots, you can also have a lot of fun.
In addition, there is also a situation where parents earn money and children play, but the hardest work may be to be parents, after all, the responsibility of taking care of children is not easy.
There are also some people who travel around because they are unemployed at home and have nothing to do after a long time, so simply going out for a walk can be regarded as a way to kill time.
Some people also pointed out that most of the people who go out to travel are little girls, and if middle-aged men also go out to play, it really means that the economic situation has improved.
However, there are also objections that ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to travel, especially if there are no statutory holidays and no additional wage subsidies, such people still account for the majority.
Finally, there is also the theory that even if you are nervous about money, you will choose to travel because you are tired of staying at home, and even if you don't have the money, you may find some inspiration or opportunity elsewhere.
All of the above reasons explain to varying degrees why the tourism market is extremely hot despite the uncertain economic situation. As for more reasons, it may need to be explored and interpreted from different angles. Friends are welcome to share more views and insights in the comment area.
