There will be a seven-day holiday during the Lunar New Year next year. Many people are planning to go abroad. However, if they want to join a group tour, the price is not cheap. The Quality Assurance Association pointed out that the highest reference price for a five-day group tour in Tokyo and Hokkaido, Japan, during the Lunar New Year next year is more than 100,000, which is higher than this year. During the same period, the increase reached as high as 50%. Travel agency operators pointed out four major reasons. In addition, the price of Korean group tours during the Spring Festival next year will drop by 10% compared with this year. The industry suggests that if you have to choose to enjoy the snow with a group during the Spring Festival, Seoul and Busan will be cheaper than Tokyo.

After building the snowman, don’t forget to take photos with YA, slide on the soft snow, or enter the dream igloo. Winter is here, and many people want to enjoy the snow, but the price is not cheap if you join a group tour. Liao Peiyuan, general manager of the travel agency, said: “Like In Japan, there are more than 100,000 in 5 days. I think it should be the same. For the first time in decades, air tickets from Taiwan, especially to Hokkaido, cost almost 50,000 including taxes.”

How expensive is it? The Quality Assurance Association pointed out the reference price for group fares during the Lunar New Year next year. Japan, which Chinese people love to go to, is about 109,000 for five days in Tokyo and Hokkaido, which is an increase of nearly 50%. The highest price for a 13-day trip to the United States and Canada is about 175,000. I’m afraid it will increase by 45%. The highest price for a two-week and 14-day tour in Europe is about 150,000. The only price for 4 to 5 days in Seoul and Busan, Korea is about 20,000 to 45,000. I can actually save a little more when traveling next year, and the tour fee will be reduced by 10%. Industry experts pointed out four major reasons.

The Japanese currency has depreciated. Japanese people don’t like to go abroad and they stay at home. The first quarter of next year is already the peak tourist season. With fewer seats, air ticket prices will of course rise, accounting for at least half of the group fare. Local hotels and tour buses are short of workers, and wages for raw materials have risen. Japan’s Spring Festival tour fares have soared. Travel agency general manager Liao Peiyuan said: “Beyond the Lunar New Year, before or after the Lunar New Year, I think the price difference will be about 30%.”

In addition, there will be elections in Taiwan next year, and the American route and the Spring Festival return home, there will be a large number of passengers in January and February next year, and the demand for flights will exceed the supply. For the European route, because the exchange rates of the euro and the pound are at a high point, the industry recommends that you have to fly in If you go abroad during the Spring Festival with a group tour, going to South Korea to enjoy the snow is relatively cheaper than going to Hokkaido, Japan. If you choose to go during the peak tourist season, you may have to keep your eyes open and make careful comparisons.
