Beijing (CNS) -- As the three-day Dragon Boat Festival holiday approaches, various celebrations designed for differentiated target groups have been prepared by the domestic tourism industry and are likely to trigger a slight growth in the market, according to the Beijing Tourism Administration, Wednesday.
Beijing districts will focus on folk activities for this special occasion, such as dragon boat races, Zongzi DIYs, as well as one day trips.
Travel agencies are also offering some short junkets with special discounts for high school graduates who have just relieved themselves from Gaokao.
Short jaunts turn out to be the public's favorite option during this short holiday.
Airline ticket prices have been hiked by different degrees, depending on the popularity of the routes. Thursday saw the highest price of the entire holiday. Hot destinations are the most expensive and include Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Qingdao and Xiamen.
Hotel prices haven't climbed much in most scenic zones though; most rate hikes are around 20 percent.
