Traveling for the New Year – Special Accommodation Deals to Boost Your Spring Festival Trip

Published: 2026-09-25 👁 100 views
Last updated 2026-09-25 — Ten years ago, if you told your friends that you weren’t going home for the New Year but were traveling instead, they would have been utterly baffled and unable to understand. Now, if you say you’re traveling for the New Year, they might light up with enthusiasm and reply in unison, “I’m going to Sanya—where are you going?” The shift in this traditional custom stems not only from people’s gradually increasing spiritual needs but also from external policy interventions. The controversy over the cancellation of the May Day Golden Week has yet to settle, and in 2014, the holiday office further implemented a policy of splitting statutory short holidays without offering compensatory time off. This move made the already limited national long holidays even more strained, and the Spring Festival break has gradually evolved from the fixed pattern of “going home for the holidays” into a vacation style of “family trips together.”
    After visiting several self-guided travel booking websites, reporters found that due to the significant market influence on airfare prices, it was inevitable that costs would rise accordingly. As a result, various OTA (Online Travel Agency) websites could only focus more on accommodation to attract user attention. Qunar’s promotions still follow the style where only a few lucky ones win prizes through sheer luck, while Youduoduo Travel’s New Year event page shows that the price increase for Spring Festival accommodations available for online booking on their site is almost zero, with average prices remaining at around 100 yuan—the usual daily rate. Beds starting at just 20 yuan are everywhere. “The accommodation products on Youduoduo Travel are mainly specialty inns, which have strong price controllability and are less affected by overall market trends. Although there has been a slight overall increase in booking prices, it doesn’t rule out the existence of accommodation options with no price fluctuation,” a staff member from Youduoduo Travel told reporters. “To cope with the market fluctuations brought about by this year’s holiday office policies, as early as the end of December 2013, we proactively called and categorized all accommodation products, separately selecting a list of popular scenic spot accommodations that would not raise prices during the Spring Festival, allowing users to quickly search for and book them.”


    From unfamiliarity to familiarity, from resistance to enthusiasm, “traveling for the New Year” is gaining more and more attention and favor among citizens. For travel booking platforms and travel agencies, which play an important role in the tourism market, providing special accommodation deals and discounted travel routes for those traveling during the Spring Festival is both highly anticipated and their duty.


    From being a novelty to becoming mainstream, from skepticism to widespread acclaim, “traveling for the New Year” is increasingly capturing the interest and preference of the public. And for travel booking platforms and travel agencies—key players in the tourism market—offering special accommodation deals and discounted travel packages for those journeying during the Spring Festival is not only something everyone is looking forward to, but also their responsibility.
