With the gradual rise in temperature, Dalian welcomes its peak tourist season. The Dalian Beer Festival will begin at the end of this month, further enhancing the city's tourism atmosphere. Reporters learned that hotel accommodation in Dalian has been relatively tight recently. In the coming week, many low-star and economy hotels in Dalian are fully booked, with hotels priced under 300 yuan being particularly prominent.
Yesterday, reporters learned from Dalian Airport that as of the end of June, the number of passengers in Dalian had reached 769,689, an increase of 10.8% compared to the same period last year. Since the beginning of July, the number of passengers received at Dalian Railway Station has reached 1.024 million, on par with last year. Industry insiders analyzed that these data indicate that Dalian has officially entered its peak tourist season this year.
Reporters learned from several economy hotels in the city that most hotels have already been fully booked. Some hotels even stated that there won't be any available rooms until after August 3rd. According to hotel staff, since the beginning of July, lower-priced guest rooms have often been booked out a week in advance. It is expected that by August, the availability of rooms will become even tighter. Reporters learned that currently, if you want to book an economy hotel in Dalian, you need to make reservations at least 3-5 days in advance. For some well-reputed and well-known chain economy hotels, you may need to book two weeks in advance. Industry insiders stated that apart from Dalian entering the ideal time for marine activities, the upcoming beer festival is also one of the factors causing the tightness in room availability.
