Domestic travel picks up during China's Labor Day holiday... ”town youth” become main consumer group - Chinese reports

With the Labor Day holiday (May 1st to 5th) approaching in China, the domestic travel market is booming.
According to the "Homestay Booking Trends Report," mid- to long-distance travel is proving to be popular during the May Day holiday, with 67% of people traveling mid- to long-distance across provinces making the trip.
On the website, reservations for private accommodation in popular cities have increased by 73% compared to the same period last year, and some private accommodations are already fully booked. The top 10 cities that are gaining popularity as tourist destinations are Chongqing, Chengdu, Qingdao, and Zhengzhou.
The cities of Changsha, Weihai, Yantai, Nanjing, Tianjin, and Wuhan are the largest. What is noteworthy is that when looking at the number of private lodging reservations for the same period by age group, young people living in regional cities, known as "small town youth," ranked first.
A person in charge of "Little Pig" said, "Although the main place of consumption for "Little Zhen Youth" is online, they also have a strong desire to travel. They have a relatively stable income and do not feel burdened by living expenses, so they are consumers in the tourism market.
They will become the main source of spending."
