Every Spring Festival holiday always sets off a wave of rush for rooms, but this year CITS is facing a rare “cold winter”. Kenting, Pingtung, which is an important indicator of domestic tourism, has an overall booking rate of only about 60% during the holiday. It is usually hard to find a room, and the average booking rate this year is only 80%. In addition, the booking rate in Xiaoliuqiu was only over 30% from the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year. Regarding this, Xu Bohan, chairman of the Xiaoliuqiu Tourism Development Association, said that he knew it would be bad, but the booking rate for the Spring Festival was so bad that no one could believe it.

According to analysis by Kenting hoteliers, this is mainly due to the post-epidemic boom in overseas travel. The Spring Festival holiday is the peak period for overseas travel, and Kenting’s housing prices during the Spring Festival are the highest of the year. Coupled with the rise in prices in recent years, the number of tourists in tourist areas has increased. The amount of consumption remains high, and some tourists choose hotels in urban areas with relatively lower prices. In addition, the shrinking number of international tourists in Kenting is also one of the problems.

Some netizens commented on “Exploding 1 Commune”shareRelevant reports sparked heated discussions. Some people pointed to the “high price of accommodation” as the main reason. “On weekdays, a 4-person room costs 6,000 per night, and during the Spring Festival, it costs 12,000 per night. Let those who are willing to pay stay there.” “The hotel is too expensive. My friend’s family stayed there for three days.” A 2-night trip to Miaoli cost NT$60,000 for accommodation.” “It’s a cold winter for me when I go there during the Chinese New Year.” “During the New Year holidays in Taiwan, the accommodation fee doubles.” “On weekdays, double suites that cost over NT$2,000 can go up to NT$7,000 or NT$8,000. It’s so direct. “It’s faster to grab money”, “A night’s stay in a backpacker inn in Xiaoliuqiu during the Chinese New Year costs more than RMB 1,000, and a simple hotel costs more than RMB 3,000. At this price, you can stay in a five-star swimming pool hotel in Bangkok.”

Netizens also pointed out other reasons why they do not want to travel abroad, such as “traffic jams, expensive accommodation, similar food, and extremely expensive entertainment prices”, “traffic jams, crowds of people…is it fun?”, “they all quoted the same guava price, and they also stipulated once I have to stay for two nights to be accommodated. Why am I staying in Kenting for two nights?”, “Accommodation during the Chinese New Year is extremely expensive, I would rather spend time at home”, “The check-in time is getting later and the check-out time is getting earlier and earlier, the quality corresponds If it’s not about the price, those who don’t have deep pockets will certainly not consider traveling abroad. I almost forgot that during holidays and large-scale events, the price will directly increase by more than 2 times.”

In this regard, many netizens believe that the CP value of international travel is too different compared to going abroad. “The price of staying in a B&B in Okinawa is also low (4 people stay in a pure Japanese-style bungalow, about 2100 a day), and staying in a five-star hotel in Pattaya, Thailand The hotel room price is quite acceptable (3 people stay, about 3250). How can I afford it in Taiwan if the price is less than 6,7,8,9 thousand?” The depreciation is not that it does not support China Travel Service, but that the price/performance ratio is too low.” “I can’t afford to live there. Starair Airlines combines Hoshino OMO7 Osaka for 3 nights + OMO Kansai Airport for 1 night of free travel starting at 28,000. The problem is that your four-night stay in Kenting may not be enough. It’s higher than 28,000!”
