Travel at the wrong peak.
The most expensive items for traveling abroad are often air tickets and hotels, and off-peak travel is a sharp weapon to save money. You can either leave earlier or later to avoid the peak, and you can save thousands of dollars just by air tickets.
Taking the ticket from Beijing to Sanya as an example, the reporter from Zhongxin.com inquired about the Flying Pig APP and found that if you leave on September 28th, choose 14:10 (Daxing Airport) — The flight at 18:50 (Phoenix Airport) only costs 1280 yuan, but the price of the flight rose to 3350 yuan on October 1 and dropped to 1340 yuan on October 3.
Therefore, you can choose to leave early, you need to take three days off from September 28th to September 30th, or you can choose to leave two days later, so you can save a lot of money just by flying tickets.
Of course, whether you leave early or late, it’s better to book your air tickets and hotels in advance. The early bird catches the worm, and the earlier you book, the more likely it is to take advantage.
Visit the price reduction scenic spot
Choosing the right destination can also save a lot of money for scenic spots. In order to attract tourists, various places have introduced generous preferential measures for tickets, and many scenic spots have set off a wave of ticket price reduction or even free tickets. Statistics from Ctrip Tourism Big Data Lab show that more than 1,500 scenic spots in China are free or discounted.
For example, Hubei launched the activity of "Traveling with Love in Hubei", and the A-level tourist attractions in the province were open to national tourists free of charge until the end of this year, including the "Eleventh" Golden Week.
From September 6 th to November 10 th, all A-level scenic spots in Altay, Xinjiang implemented a free ticket policy for national tourists, including 5A-level scenic spots such as Kanas. During the "Eleventh" Golden Week in Heilongjiang this year, 73 A-level scenic spots introduced holiday concessions, among which 4 scenic spots entered the park free of charge, 22 scenic spots introduced 50% discount on tickets, and 47 scenic spots introduced different degrees of preferential measures.

Major tourism platforms are also increasing subsidies for scenic spot tickets. For example, Ctrip launched the National Day discount zone, covering East China, North China, South China, Southwest China and other regions, with nearly 50 scenic spots with tickets as low as 1 yuan, such as Shanghai Changfeng Ocean World, Shanghai Happy Valley, Oriental Pearl, Chimelong Wildlife World, Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Park, Huanghuacheng Water Great Wall, Chengdu Haichang Polar Ocean Park, Xiling Snow Mountain, Lingshan Giant Buddha, Hengdian Film and Television City and other famous scenic spots.

Go on road trip remembers to get the fuel ticket subsidy.
For tourists who choose go on road trip, the cost of fuel is not a small expense. However, some places will give self-driving tourists some fuel ticket subsidies, remember to collect them.
Recently, Kashgar, Xinjiang announced that it would present 10,000 refueling tickets with a total value of 1 million yuan to the vast number of self-driving tourists coming to Cameroon. Self-driving tourists in Kashi International Self-driving and RV Camp will receive 100 refueling tickets with a face value of 100 yuan with border passes every day (200 tickets will be distributed every day during the Golden Week of the Eleventh National Day) on a first-come-first-served basis while stocks last. At the same time, distribute local tourist souvenirs in Kashgar.
Earlier, Yunnan also announced that self-driving tourists would be subsidized by oil tickets if they rented cars through the platform of "a mobile phone travels to Yunnan".
Of course, on the other hand, if you want to talk about how "double festivals" are the most economical, it is better to lie at home for 8 days. And if you work overtime, you can make more money. If you work overtime from October 1 to 4, you should be paid three times the salary, and from October 5 to 8, you can get twice the salary.
So, how are you going to spend the holidays? (End)
