On May 2nd, Meituan released data showing that on the first day of the "May Day" holiday, tickets for many scenic spots were sold out, popular homestays were hard to find, hidden gem cities welcomed visitors from all directions, and many must-try restaurants in various locations had long queues. This year's "May Day" holiday, the trend of "deep experience" in travel is becoming more evident. Visitors are increasingly pursuing a local experience of eating, drinking, and having fun, rather than just skimming the surface. Data shows that during the "May Day" holiday, the number of small group tours integrating more local experiences increased by 27% compared to the previous year, and the search popularity for "local recommended food" increased by 122%.
