"Waiting for sale as soon as it starts", "It is more difficult to grab tickets than in previous years", "The number of people in line exceeds 100"... The Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday is approaching, and topics such as the inability to grab train tickets and accommodation price increases continue to ferment. Recently, data released by a number of travel platforms shows that with the blessing of the "Mid-Autumn Festival + National Day" 8-day super long holiday, the tourism market has ushered in the "strongest" travel season in recent years.

Among them, the long-term travel market for travel during the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday grew rapidly, and the number of inquiries and bookings for outbound travel products also increased rapidly.
