In the “May Day” small holiday just passed, the proportion of new generations such as the post-90s and post-00s reached 57%, becoming the absolute main force for travel. But in fact, a considerable number of young people are no longer capricious about travel after experiencing the “battering” of the epidemic.
Those who have traveled back and forth to Japan and South Korea once a weekend know the importance of “pocket is rich”, and now the door can’t go out of the way;
Previously for the “flowering young people” who have been advancing in advance, they are now worried about how to pay off the debts accumulated by travel.
Consumption is declining, which is happening quietly. Some people have moved from star hotels of a few hundred yuan to express chain hotels, and some people have switched from business class to high-speed rail …
In this generation of young people, many of the first trips are done by plane and in a high-end hotel. “Poor travel” is an impossible thing for many people.
Public data show that during the “May 1” small holiday, Shanghai ’s emerging play spending per capita was 212 yuan per capita during May Day during the post-90s period, and only 174 yuan per capita after the 00 ’s.
It seems to be calm and rational for the young people who are enthusiastic about tourism. For tourism companies, the main force is no longer interested in traveling, which is probably more serious than the industry shutdown.
“If you do n’t travel, you wo n’t die, but you do n’t have money in your pocket.”
Thinking 94 / Female / Account Director
Representative of “willful travel team”. Outbound travel, luxury hotels, champagne afternoon tea … the circle of friends is full of INS style. However, under the influence of the epidemic, she encountered “unpaid leave”, and also realized that travel is not a necessity in life.
I used to go abroad almost 10 times a year. It can be said that as long as there is a rest day, I go abroad to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, and Europe and the United States.
Great Ocean Road driving by itself, Huangdao Town watchingAfter the aurora, the Siargao rushing through the waves, the white horse 47 skied through the snow … Many people thought that I was a tour guide after seeing my circle of friends.
At that time, I once felt that the satisfaction I gained from traveling was a necessity in life and a source of happiness.
Because the income was not bad at the time, I was particularly willing to spend money on the trip. Thousands of luxury hotels and resorts for one night did not blink when paying. Michelin restaurants and net red afternoon tea were also essential links. If the money is not enough, there are flowers and credit cards. In fact, I do n’t think much about overdrafts. I just repay on time every month. There is really no minimum repayment. Let ’s enjoy it first.
But the epidemic came down. To be honest, it has a great impact on the industry I am in. I still take unpaid leave. Not only is there no income, the flowers I owed before, and the credit card should be normal. You can only reach out to your family every month.
Think about it carefully. Travel is really optional, because the epidemic has been suffocating at home for three months, and now it ’s no big deal. It ’s not going to die if I do n’t travel, but it ’s really sad to have no money in my pocket, but I ’m not going to be so miserable when I have been out a few times before.
I did n’t go out to play during the “May Day” holiday, mainly because I was not so relieved about the epidemic. Secondly, the balance of the bank card could not support my travel needs, and I was not interested in domestic travel.
When will you go out to play again? I wo n’t go out to play this year, and I wo n’t go out to play next year. When the epidemic is completely stabilized, when the money in my pocket can give me a sense of security, I will go out to play again, and my demand for travel quality will not change. , But there will certainly be no more days of big money.
“Five-star hotels and express hotels are essentially a place to sleep at night”
Peng Fei 95 years / male / travel theme editor
Before the epidemic, travel was like a routine for him, and he was accustomed to the famous scenes at work. Even at his own expense, he was basically in and out of star-rated hotels, and he had never taken the second-class seat of the high-speed rail. Today, the decline in consumption is most vividly reflected in him.
It’s over, my buddy is decayed, and he’s no longer chic.
I visited Nanjing on May 1st. Before I went to Nanjing, at least I lived in Westin, Fairmont, Jumeirah, and at worst I had to live with a Hilton friend.
But this time, I stayed at the Golden Eagle State Hotel, a business express hotel owned by the Golden Eagle Group, and I gave breakfast for 180 yuan a night.
After I came back, I told the people around me about the hotel stay. They all thought I was joking. In their eyes, I still went in and out of “Mr. Zhang” in various famous scenes.
Actually, I do n’t want to believe it myself, but this is the reality.
Also, I have started to compare prices. I have booked a hotel and booked flights before. I opened the official app and found a high cost-effective price.
What did I consider at that time? Geographic location, service, room, treatment, points. Now I only consider which platform is cheaper. To book a hotel for one night, open Ctrip, Qunar, Feizhu, Tongcheng, and compare prices one by one.
But when I was lying in bed, I thought, although there is indeed a gap between the experience of this express hotel and a star hotel, it is basically a place to sleep at night, the functionality is the same, and at least one night can be saved 5,600 yuan, three or four days to go out is a few thousand dollars, almost a month’s living expenses.
Now I have started saving money, and saving money is addictive.
It ’s mainly because I have a balance in my card and I ’m at ease. Even if the epidemic breaks out again, or if I lose my job, the money will allow me to stay for a while without having to “escape from Beijing to Shanghai” like a friend.
As long as I ’m still an editor, I ’ll go to play, which is also a work need, but the previous week 7God, 5 days and a half days outside will definitely not be there, and the second-class high-speed rail will also become the first choice.
Affected by the decline in income and even unemployment, for those who just need to travel, consumption has fallen by a certain amount, and more and more people are reluctant to invest too much in this matter.
In the recent period, various travel industries have carried out pre-sales of travel products. Among them, the sale of low-cost exchange coupons is hot. In addition, a series of high-star hotels also give unprecedented promotional prices, such as: 999 yuan 2 nights at Shangri-La Hotel, 1099 yuan / 2 nights at InterContinental Hotel and 3999 yuan / 2 nights at Bailian Hotel and so on.
Why do people pay for such promotional products? In the final analysis, it is still the price. In essence, hoarding goods in advance is equivalent to saving money for future travel needs.
“Borrowing, flowering, taking flowers, Jingdong white stripe … broaden your horizons and owe debts”
95 years of squeak / male / illustrator
Typical chanting youth. Most of the advanced consumption is used for travel, but now, the most important thing has become-to pay off all previous debts as soon as possible. Willful travel will not happen again.
How can there be young people who do not like to travel? It is not limited by the balance in the bank card. During college, I watched a lot of travel programs, but at that time, I had no money and could not go anywhere.
Later worked, the salary for the first month was about 9,000 yuan. I took the money and I went to Hong Kong to play with it for a while, and then it was out of control.
It can be said that I am working for the trip every month. As soon as I get paid, I start to make travel plans, then travel, and then pay wages to make plans and then travel, and finally travel has become Got a habit.
In the eyes of outsiders, I have a high working income and have the capital to support me every time I travel. But in fact, no one knows that I have become a chanting youth for traveling. It can also be said to be Kanu.
The main reason is that my poor self-control ability and income have not kept up with the change of mentality, and I ca n’t stop trying to go out without money, what should I do? Borrowing, flowering, Ctrip took the flowers, Jingdong white bars, and gold bars. Having gone to many countries in three years, it has indeed broadened its horizons, but it also has more debts of 30,000 and 40,000.
This kind of advanced consumption is very scary. There is absolutely no feeling when overdrawing, as if it is just a few numbers in exchange for a trip.
The installment function makes me more indulgent, even if it is a large amount of travel expenses, I still need to repay a few hundred or more than one thousand yuan every month after the installment, which may only account for tenths of my salary. One, but after one, two, three or even more installments piled up together, I found that each month’s salary was basically used to pay off the debt. It can be said that I was working for travel every month.
Now that the epidemic has affected income, the company has cut salaries in disguise. The balance of the bank card and the monthly repayment amount have made me awake.
For me, this year ’s first task is to raise income as much as possible, and then the previous debts are cleared. I have started to work part-time now. I need to stop traveling for a while, and it is absolutely impossible to live a fast dream through financial products also.
“Luxury hotels have been built on National Highway 318. If you have no money, stay at home”
Xuan Xuan 90 Years / Male / Photographer
The “poor travel” family 10 years ago. But now I firmly believe that if we have money, we will happily go out and enjoy, and stay at home without money.
I did n’t go out to play on “May Day”, maybe I will go out on “Eleven”, but I ’m not sure, I still have to see if there are any children in my pocket. This year ’s epidemic can toss us Enough choking, the income is 80% less, but the mortgage and car loan have to be paid normally, and you have to eat enough to return to the waves.
Another one, the epidemic is not stable now. There is no need to rush out and go to the field. In case there is an epidemic that really catches up, come back for another 14 days of isolation.
Can you hang out without money in your pocket? Certainly, who did not come from the youth hostel when he was young.
But after so many years, the economic conditions have also changed. Now I will think that traveling is a matter of enjoyment. It is Holiday. When we go on vacation, we should eat, drink and live well.
There are still a few people who go to sleep in the wilderness mountains to sleep in tents. They are all nonsense. In the final analysis, they are poor. Now they are built on National Highway 318.Pin hotel.
If we have money, let ’s go out and enjoy it. If we do n’t have money, we will stay at home. If we go to parks or climb the Great Wall, we can also go out and breathe.
