7 . My husband and I recently went on a package holiday. Eyebrows (眉毛) were raised. I am a travel writer, you see, and so people expect me to be doing things such as backpacking between hand-selected fincas (庄园) in Spain or carefully planning an independent Italian food tour.
I don’t want to check every airline for the cheapest flights or research local taxi fares to avoid being cheated at the airport. My time, like yours, is valuable. Honestly, I just want somebody else to do the boring things for me. This is where the good old package holiday comes in. Reliable and extremely easy to book, a package holiday takes care of all the details for you. My goodness, I want that — and I am not alone.
Even better, a package holiday comes with support. Sunvil, for example, has 60 enthusiastic travel experts in its London office, as well as numerous representatives around the world. All are ready to offer proper, in-the-know (消息灵通的) advice on everything from the best restaurants to the must-visit spots. There are short trips that Sunvil’s own travel experts have enjoyed, and when it comes to finding a place to stay, the majority of Sunvil accommodation is locally owned and has been checked out thoroughly.
This sort of expert knowledge is invaluable. On my package holiday earlier this year, I was determined to try the local restaurant, and my representative told me how to hire a car for a day’s exploration and which sights were worth making time for. I may have been on a package holiday, but my experience was entirely personal.
And so, when I returned from my holiday, I told my friends that I had become a fan of package holidays. I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is a support system in place. I love the expert knowledge that can lead me to the freshest fish and sunniest beach. And above all, I don’t have to do any of the boring things. This is truly the way to travel.

9 . Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts. Reverse tourism has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10-fold. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and environmental encounters. Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. Travelers tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.
