Is it possible to travel across provinces during the summer vacation?

Let's see how the regulations are in different places~

Many places relax cross-provincial personnel policies

Since June, many places including Zhejiang, Gansu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Qinghai have adjusted their cross-provincial mobility policies.

On June 20, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Transportation held a video coordination meeting on routine transportation epidemic prevention and control, requiring that all measures restricting the movement of personnel that are not in line with national epidemic prevention policies be resolutely cancelled.

Jiangsu requires that passenger itinerary cards be checked at the exits of the "two stations and one airport", and those without a "*" will be released directly; those with a "*" who have a green health code and hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours will be released directly; those who do not hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours will be released after one nucleic acid sample is taken.

Qinghai has also adjusted its epidemic prevention and control policies recently. People coming to (or returning to) Qinghai from low-risk areas need to show a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours, a green health code and a communication itinerary card, and complete the "inspection upon arrival" before they can move in an orderly manner. The "two inspections every three days" policy will no longer be implemented.

On June 19, Hainan also adjusted its epidemic prevention and control measures for people coming to and returning from Hainan. Before coming to (returning to) Hainan, people from non-epidemic areas can check in or go through other procedures to Hainan with a green health code, and a negative nucleic acid test result is not mandatory. Before coming to (returning to) Hainan, people from epidemic-affected areas need to provide a negative nucleic acid test result once within 48 hours.

Hainan also specifically clarified that the prevention and control measures for inbound personnel were changed from "14+7" to "10+4+3", namely 10 days of centralized isolation, 4 days of home isolation and observation (centralized isolation will be implemented if there are no conditions for home isolation), and 3 days of home health monitoring.

On June 17, Wenshan City, Yunnan Province issued the latest notice that people coming to (or returning to) Wenshan from low-risk areas will no longer need to provide a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test certificate or undergo nucleic acid testing on arrival. They can pass normally after checking the Yunnan health code, communication itinerary card, and measuring body temperature.

On June 5, the Capital's Strict Entry Management Joint Prevention and Control Coordination Mechanism and the Beijing COVID-19 Prevention and Control Leading Group decided that commuters in the surrounding areas of Beijing must hold a negative nucleic acid test result within 48 hours and a green "Beijing Health Code" code for the first time entering or leaving Beijing. After that, they only need to hold a negative nucleic acid test result within 7 days and a green "Beijing Health Code" code.

“Hot destinations” reappear in platform searches and bookings

Once the resumption of cross-provincial travel in many places was officially announced, tourists immediately took action.

Data from a well-known travel platform shows that as of June 21, the number of cross-provincial group tour bookings for the summer vacation increased by 291% week-on-week; the number of cross-provincial hotel bookings for the summer vacation increased by 151% week-on-week; the number of "flight + hotel" orders has increased rapidly since June, and the average daily order volume in June has surpassed the same period last year.

The number of hotel orders in Qinghai during the summer vacation increased by 174% month-on-month in the past week after Qinghai officially announced the resumption of cross-provincial travel on June 18; the number of scenic spot ticket orders increased by 100% month-on-month from the previous week; and the number of summer air ticket orders increased by 252% month-on-month from the previous week.

Ningxia, which announced the orderly opening of inter-provincial group tours on June 19, also had a good start. In the past two days, Ningxia's summer inter-provincial group tour bookings have doubled; summer hotel bookings have increased by 108%, with the main source of tourists coming from Chengdu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places.

After Hubei announced the resumption of cross-provincial travel on June 21, the search popularity of destinations within the province on the travel platform increased by 2 times, and the number of orders for cross-provincial group tours in Hubei during the summer vacation increased by 346% week-on-week.

The opening of the Zhengzhou-Chongqing High-Speed ​​Railway on June 19 has boosted the popularity of scenic spots along the Zhengzhou-Chongqing High-Speed ​​Railway in the province. From June 15 to 21, the number of orders for ticket bookings for scenic spots along the railway increased by 11% compared with the previous week, the Wushan Scenic Area increased by 17%, and the Shennongjia Scenic Area increased by 24%.

Summer vacation is also traditionally the peak tourist season, and this year is no exception.

Data from another popular travel platform showed that from June 1 to 15 this year, hotel bookings nationwide more than doubled compared with the second half of May; in the past week, summer air ticket bookings increased nearly three times from the previous week, train ticket bookings for students increased by 70% from the previous week, and scenic spot ticket bookings increased by nearly 60%.

On June 16, the opening of the world's first desert railway loop, the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway in Xinjiang, made Xinjiang a popular tourist destination this summer.

Relevant data from tourism platforms show that the number of bookings for train tour routes such as the "10-day tour of Kashgar, Pamirs and Hotan in Xinjiang" is continuing to surge.

The domestic tourism market is expected to recover this summer

Stimulated by the good news of the relaxation of travel policies in various places, domestic flights also ushered in a small peak in June. According to data from VariFlight, the number of domestic flights on June 19 exceeded 8,000.

A travel company's "2022 Summer Travel Consumption Forecast Report" shows that compared with the same period in 2021, the domestic tourism market is expected to return to the recovery track in the summer of 2022, and the overall number of trips is expected to recover to more than 70% of the same period in 2019.

From the perspective of passenger flow, the recovery rate of the large travel market supported by rigid demands such as business trips and visiting relatives will be slightly higher than that of the tourism and vacation market.

Huang Senzhong, a professor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics of Nankai University, said that although various places have gradually relaxed cross-provincial mobility policies, the main purpose of the current cross-provincial mobility policies is still focused on cross-provincial commuting and material flow.

Cheng Chaogong, chief researcher at Tongcheng Research Institute, pointed out that the current national epidemic prevention situation is stable, which has played a significant role in promoting the rapid recovery of the tourism market. Under the guidance of the new inter-provincial travel fuse mechanism, inter-provincial travel has been resumed in most provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, except for a few areas with local epidemics.

However, Huang Senzhong also reminded that influenza is currently spreading in the south and large-scale movement of people requires caution.
