"Don't go on May Day!" although this year's May Day holiday is somewhat different from previous years, from three days to four days, the time doesn't slow down. Did you go out on May Day? There seems to be a sea of people everywhere! The fleeting happy holiday even made netizens write a paragraph:
This May Day holiday, are you crowding or staying at home? After the holiday, let's sum up the consumption contribution of eating, drinking, playing and lying.
Reality show 'crowded' on small and long holidays
From the golden week to the long holiday, May Day holiday has been with us for 20 years.
In 1999, the State Council promulgated the "national new year's day and Memorial Day holiday measures", with three days off for Spring Festival, labor day and national day.
If you add two weekends, you can get up to seven days' holiday, which is affectionately called 'golden week'.
However, in 2007, the "national new year's festival and Memorial Day holiday method" was revised, and the three traditional festivals, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid Autumn Festival, were included in the scope of statutory holidays, with one day off respectively.
The May Day holiday has shrunk to three days, which has become what we call a "small long holiday".
Over the past 20 years, more and more people have been traveling during the May Day holiday, and their consumption has become higher and higher. According to the data of the Ministry of culture and tourism, 147 million people visited during the May Day holiday in 2018, and it is expected to exceed 150 million in 2019.
"Crowded people crowded people" has become a fixed focus of small and long holidays every year.
For example, the West Lake in Hangzhou welcomed more than 600000 visitors on May 1, which directly sent the topic of "everyone on the broken bridge" to a hot search. Some netizens joked that "Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian may not meet.". In the West Lake scenic area, there is even the "West Lake fishing brother", which is specially used to salvage mobile phones and self portrait poles for tourists. Take Badaling Great Wall as an example. On the first day of the holiday, more than 54000 tourists "clock in". According to Chuanbei online, 7.2 tons of solid waste and 11 tons of liquid waste were cleared in Badaling Great Wall scenic spot on that day.
After all, there is an old saying that "all come here" & hellip; & hellip; on May 2, a red dragon shrimp restaurant in Changsha specially issued an apology letter saying that it was unable to receive many guests, but on its display list, it even reached table 7172.
Tourist attractions are too crowded to walk, expressways are blocked to cry, stations line up to collect tickets, and the collapsed 4G network can't even send out a self portrait

Whether it's' looking at the scenery on the bridge 'or' people looking at the scenery watching you upstairs', the annual increase in the number of tourists during the May Day holiday adds a big brick to economic development.
According to the interface news report, in terms of revenue, the total domestic tourism revenue during the May Day holiday in 2018 reached 87.16 billion yuan, 28.66 billion yuan higher than that in 2006.

In China, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Xi'an are the top ten tourist source cities for May Day tourism this year. A large number of citizens have traveled, leaving many 'empty cities' for foreign tourists.
What age group of Chinese prefer may day travel?
According to the order data of Ctrip's group tour and free travel, the post-80s and post-90s became the absolute main group of people going out on May Day, accounting for more than half of the total number of people going out. In a rare holiday, it's a good choice to use tourism to reduce stress. But I don't know whether they are cheering or being squeezed into a sad face when they travel?
In addition, the report also shows that the post-50s are the most willing to spend money in all age groups, and the per capita cost of a single tour reaches 3629 yuan.
What do travelers buy?
For the retail industry, a small holiday is a good time to boost performance. According to the May day consumption data released by Suning e-buy (12.620, - 0.39, - 3.00%), the sales of each category index increased significantly during the period
The sales volume of food increased by 347% year-on-year, among which beer was the highest, with a year-on-year increase of 716%; the sales volume of snacks increased by 433%, among which potato chips, dried beans and meat snacks were the most; the sales volume of crayfish increased by 246% year-on-year, and consumers were mainly post-90s, accounting for 42%.
From a few small data, we can also find the changes of May Day travel groups this year
The sales of automobile products, baby strollers, children's sports cups and pet backpacks increased by 163%, 82%, 85% and 200% respectively.
It can be seen that during the May Day period, family self driving travel accounted for the majority, and children and family pets also joined the family self driving travel team.
