These high star hotels that serve business and travel users on weekdays have become a cost-effective choice during the National Day holiday. In addition, in the past two years, "reverse tourism" has emerged, and many young people prefer to visit non first tier cities with good infrastructure and abundant tourism resources, avoiding popular destinations. Here, they can stay at high star hotels at lower prices and enjoy better services.
