Chongqing citizens lamented: I finally came back!
"After three years, I finally returned to Sanya!" Ms. Xu, a Chongqing citizen who lives in Shapingba District and is currently on vacation in Sanya, told the upstream journalist.
Ms. Xu introduced that on 20 17, her family bought a two-bedroom apartment of more than 60 square meters in Yazhou District, Sanya City. The community is located near caves and Guanyin statues in the South China Sea. In the following years, they all spent the Spring Festival in Sanya. However, with the outbreak of COVID-19 in 20 19, they haven't been to Sanya for three years. "In recent years, during the Spring Festival, I rented a homestay in the suburbs of Chongqing for two days. To tell the truth, they still miss the weather here in Sanya more. After all, it is much warmer, and it is more comfortable for children to live with the elderly at home. "
In addition to her 7-and-a-half-year-old sister, Ms. Xu added another son to her family on 20 165438+ 10. "But he hasn't been to Sanya since he was born more than 3 years old. I immediately came to Sanya with my two children and my parents after the full unsealing some time ago. The weather here is warm and pleasant, and the two children are excited as soon as they arrive in Sanya. They have to eat more meals every day! Parents themselves have some basic diseases, and this place is more suitable for health after coming over. Now that the baby has finished his homework, the whole family will go to the nearby seaside to play and feel good every day. "
According to Ms. Xu, she flew to Sanya on February 24th last year by 65438. "At that time, the plane was full of passengers, and everyone seemed to be looking forward to it. After all, most of them haven't traveled for a long time. However, everyone still pays more attention to protection and always wears N95 masks. " Ms. Xu's family belongs to "Yang Kang", but they usually pay more attention to protection, especially in indoor environments such as shopping malls, wearing N95 masks. "I also brought some cold medicines and antipyretics this time, but fortunately I have never used them."
After arriving here, Ms. Xu found that although the residents and tourists in the community are enthusiastic, they are still far from the peak period. "Compared with 20 19, the popularity is still much worse. It was really crowded at that time, and there were people everywhere. Now my dad goes to the nearby vegetable market to buy food, and he also feels that there are not many customers in the vegetable market. It is estimated that it will take some time to return to the level of 20 19. "
On New Year's Day, 65438+1 October1,Ms. Xu took two children to Atlantis Water World. "Atlantis is a popular attraction, and there are really many people, which is a bit too much. Looking at so many people, I feel that the tourism industry in Sanya is slowly beginning to recover and I hope that the future will be better. "
Compared with Ms. Xu's family, Ms. Chen, a Chongqing citizen who lives in Jiulongpo District, came to Hainan earlier. "At that time, after the full unsealing was announced, my daughter had been studying online at home, so I wanted to come to Hainan early, so I came on Sunday, 65438+February 18, when the plane was full. It seems that everyone is' suffocated'. "
Ms. Chen's home in Hainan is located near Haihua Island in Danzhou, which is also a hot spot. "Overall, although the popularity has recovered a lot, it will take some time to return to the peak level. A few days ago, I took my daughter to the cinema on Haihua Island to watch Avatar 2: The Way of Water. As a result, only seven or eight people sat in the whole hall. " Both Ms. Chen and her mother belong to "Yang Kang", but 1 1 year-old daughter has always been negative. "We are worried that she will be recruited. She is very careful when she goes out and tries not to go to crowded places."
On the evening of June 65438+1 October1,Haihua Island held a grand fireworks show. "Maybe everyone wants to watch fireworks. There were many people on Haihua Island yesterday. After the fireworks show, the vehicles leaving the island lined up for two or three hours at most, and it was early morning when they left. These situations also show that there are indeed more and more tourists coming to Hainan. "

Hotels are recovering: the most expensive rooms in many luxury hotels have been snapped up.
Facing the new situation of tourists swarming all over the country after the "liberalization", Sanya's hotel and tourism market has also ushered in a long-lost hot market.
"I'm sorry, our basic sea view rooms have all been booked up. At present, the cheapest room type is a 50-square-meter Supreme Sea View Double Room, and the price in official website is 3788 yuan per night. If you book through an APP such as Ctrip, there may be a certain degree of discount. " The staff of Atlantis Hotel in Sanya told the upstream journalist.
The reporter found through Ctrip, Qunar and other apps that taking the popular hotel Atlantis as an example, if staying this Friday night, the cheapest room type is the sea view supreme double room mentioned by the above staff, and the booking price is 3588 yuan/night, but this price includes "Atlantis Water World and Aquarium Unlimited Play". If breakfast for two is included, the price will reach 3788 pounds/night. Take that day as an example. The cheapest room type of Atlantis Hotel is 3288/ night, but it has already been booked.
The reporter then dialed the reservation number of the Westin Haitang Bay Minsheng Hotel, which is usually popular because it is close to Sanya International Duty Free Shop. The staff said that if it is 65438+10.6, the cheapest room type is the deluxe big bed room, and the price with double breakfast is 2088/ night. Regarding the reporter's question about whether the number of tourists has increased recently, the staff member said, "Compared with the epidemic, it has definitely increased a lot, but it has not yet returned to the peak level. At present, our hotel has a variety of room types, which is relatively easy to book. "
But there are also many top hotels in Sanya that are very popular. The upstream journalist found that, taking 65438+10.6 as an example, the most expensive set of "Four-bed Mid-levels Seascape Swimming Pool Duplex Unicom Villa" at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Coral Bay, Sanya has been booked, with the price of 48838 yuan/night. The Ritz-Carlton Yalong Bay has a good booking rate. The price of "Jinmaoju Sanju Swimming Pool Seascape Villa" is 103643 yuan per night, but it also shows that it was booked on the night of 65438+1October 6.
Rui J Hotel, also located in Yalong Bay, Sanya, also booked the most expensive "7-room Presidential Villa", with a price as high as 186999 yuan/night. According to the data, the area of this room has reached an astonishing 3450 square meters. The staff of Rui J Hotel said: "Recently, the number of telephone calls for consultation and reservation has indeed increased a lot, and the number of tourists staying has also increased significantly." For the guest who booked the most expensive room type "7-room presidential villa", the staff revealed that he is a long-term guest and "has lived for more than a month."

B&B and car rental business rebounded sharply.
In addition to major hotels, some homestays have also ushered in an increase in occupancy rates. In addition, car rental, catering, yachting, tourism photography and other supporting industries have also picked up a lot.
Baifan B&B, located in Luhuitou Scenic Area of Sanya, has been doing well recently. All 10 rooms have been booked on June 5, 2008. On the evening of October 7th, 65438/KLOC-0, there were only two rooms left, namely "two rooms with sea view and two rooms with fresh projection", and the price was 499 yuan/night. The staff said: "Recently, many guests called for consultation and made reservations through the Internet. The occupancy rate of our hotel has also increased a lot recently. It can be seen that everyone still wants to travel. "
The owner of "Meishihai Guangquanhai B&B" located near the Blue Ocean Garden in Tianya District told the upstream journalist that he took over this B&B in August last year. "Business is not very good during the epidemic. The worst thing was last September and 10, when I converted 12' s room into five rooms, and my business was very annoyed. Not only did I not check in, but even few guests consulted, and many colleagues did not insist. However, after the recent comprehensive unsealing, B&B's business is not bad, much better than during the epidemic. For example, during the New Year holiday, five rooms have been booked. "
In terms of car rental, the upstream journalist contacted Chirui car rental and car company by telephone. The other party said that with the recent adjustment of epidemic prevention policies, the business of car rental agencies has also picked up a lot. "There are more tourists coming to Sanya, so it is natural to rent a car. Recently, daily orders have increased a lot. "

Practitioner: Excited people will wait and see more.
The number of tourists has greatly increased, and tourism supporting industries such as hotels, homestays and car rentals in Sanya have gradually picked up. So what are the feelings of relevant practitioners? The upstream journalist interviewed Ms. Xiang who works in the customized travel agency "UP Private Travel Club".
Ms Xiang just became a full member in COVID-19, and she still has a cough. She said, "At present, there are many guests who have consulted Sanya through our telephone and Xiaohongshu, but I feel that many people are in a wait-and-see state-they really want to go out to play and are worried that they will not be able to return to Yang after going out, so they are still hesitating and want to wait and see for a while."
Ms Xiang has booked many homestays for guests in Sanya before, so she is familiar with Sanya. "The overall passenger flow has definitely picked up a lot. Some airlines are using wide-body passenger planes like Airbus A330 to and from Sanya. This kind of passenger plane can seat 8 people in each row. It used to fly international routes, which shows that tourists have indeed increased a lot. "
In addition, according to Ms. Xiang, with the increase of tourists, many homestays and hotels that used to operate poorly are slowly "returning blood" by raising prices. "In the past, the cheapest day was tens of dollars, and now it is gradually returning to 400 dollars. Hotels have also increased their prices a lot. Take the network celebrity hotel Atlantis as an example. In June 5438+065438+ 10, the price may be about 60% off the usual price. Now it has been completely unsealed, and the hotel has also increased its price every two days. The current price has been flat with the previous hot period. "
How do tourists strengthen personal protection?
Why do domestic tourists love Sanya so much? In the eyes of many tourism practitioners, the warm climate is the most fundamental reason to attract everyone-the weather forecast shows that the temperature in Sanya has been around 25 degrees during this time. In contrast, Xiamen 19 degrees, Lijiang 1 1 degrees, Dali 13 degrees, Guangzhou 18 degrees, Beihai 17 degrees, even in Haikou, Hainan Island, the temperature is only/kloc-. Good air quality and warm climate make Sanya the most popular holiday city in China during the Spring Festival.
However, the surge in people flow will naturally lead to new concerns: how to prevent and control the epidemic while Sanya's tourism industry is picking up? On June 5438+February 2, 20221day, Sanya issued a letter to citizens and tourists, proposing to do a good job in personal protection, continue to adhere to the "three-piece suit and five requirements" for epidemic prevention, carry masks with you, wear masks regularly, take the initiative to implement personal protective measures, and be the first person responsible for their own health.
On February 22, 65438, Hainan Hotel Catering Industry Association issued an initiative to the hotel enterprises in the province, encouraging qualified hotels to accept COVID-19-positive infected people to stay in the hotel "Yang Kang" on the premise of good protection. At present, many hotels have actively joined the anti-epidemic team and launched anti-epidemic packages to provide services for "anti-yang" guests. Before, some media consulted Sanya Tourism, Culture, Radio, Film and Television Sports Bureau. The staff said that it is necessary to do personal protection when traveling to Sanya. If it is positive, it can be isolated in the hotel.
Many Chongqing tourists, including Ms. Xu and Ms. Chen, said that they would definitely pay more attention to personal protection during their holidays in Hainan. "As long as there are many people, we will wear N95 masks. At present, we don't go to restaurants outside. We all go to the vegetable market to buy ingredients and go home to do it, which is more secure. "
