1 . Starting from July 1, the summer holiday is expected to bring 750 million trips made by rail passengers, about 15 million more than the same period in 2020, according to China State Railway Group. A recent report published by an online travel agency predicts that the number of trips made by air passengers this summer will return to normal levels of around 120 million. China’s tourism market is looking forward to a revival during the two month summer holiday.

While COVID-19 cases have been reported from time to time in some areas, the tourism market will see a sharp rise this summer. This is due to the efficient vaccination (接种疫苗) program and strict pandemic (疫情) control measures, said Cheng Chaogong, head of a research center.

According to the industrial report, as consumer confidence continues to improve, more than half of tourists want to have a family trip during the summer holiday. Also, 37.2 percent have chosen to travel with other family members. The survey result is a positive sign for the tourism market, since family travel was the main summer tourism model of previous years, the report said.

Rising airfares and hotel bookings also proved people’s growing enthusiasm for traveling during the summer holiday. By the end of June, hotel bookings for the summer holiday had increased by 30 percent compared with the same period of 2020.

Among the most popular destinations were Chengdu in Sichuan province, Kunming in Yunnan province, Harbin in Heilongjiang province, Shanghai and Beijing, according to the website.

In addition, red tourism, which refers to the visits to historical sites with a modern revolutionary legacy (革命遗产), remained a popular choice for travelers as this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China.

Day 3+: Most days you will be out on the boat with the sharks, depending on weather. Help out with the full range of tasks on the boats, and in conservation initiatives on land too.

The price is £829,including the voluntary work programme with accommodations,   airport transfers, one night in a guest house in Cape Town, breakfasts daily and lunches when on the boats. Your trip can be extended at a cost of £ 375 per week.
