70% of college students love ＂poor travel＂, and the travel expenses are less than 4,000 yuan.
It is also a good way to go backpacking during the winter and summer vacations. The reporter’s investigation found that in recent years, more and more college students love free travel. Among them, more people choose "poor travel". According to the reporter’s investigation, 70% of college students spend less than 4000 yuan on tourism. Cheap airline tickets, couch surfing, hitchhiking, etc. have all become strange tricks for college students to save money, and it is not uncommon for them to spend less than 100 yuan per day.
Love to be free,Yunnan only spends 3000 yuan in 7 days.
Previous surveys showed that 60% of middle school students in China spent more than 6,000 yuan on summer vacation travel, far exceeding the cost of college students. What is the cost of college students’ summer vacation travel? A few days ago, the reporter launched a questionnaire survey on college students’ travel costs, and 106 valid questionnaires were collected.
According to the survey data, 77% of college students are more willing to choose self-help travel, and the travel expenses will decrease accordingly. 8.49% of students spend less than 1000 yuan, 66.99% spend between 1000 yuan and 4,000 yuan, 16.98% spend between 4,000 yuan and 6,000 yuan, and only 7.55% spend more than 6,000 yuan. In other words, more than 70% of college students spend less than 4,000 yuan on a trip.
"College students are adults and have the ability and experience to take care of themselves. You have to be chased away with the group, and the tour fee is still expensive. Free travel completely arranges its own time route, which can experience the local customs more deeply, and it is also cheaper, suitable for college students whose economy is not yet independent. " Xiao He, a college student in Guangzhou, said that this summer vacation, he traveled to Yunnan with his friends, and the seven-day journey cost more than 3,000 yuan. The price of the tour group on the same route is about 5,300 yuan, and the free travel is almost 2,000 yuan cheaper than the tour group.
Save money wisely, choose low-cost airlines to stay in youth travel.
Most college students are not yet financially independent. Where can they get the travel expenses? The reporter’s survey results show that about 10% of students will earn their own living through part-time jobs and scholarships; 12% of the students surveyed said that they would accumulate from the living expenses; 77% of the students choose to be provided directly by their parents.
According to the survey, more than 70% of the respondents believe that tourism spending is mainly in transportation and accommodation. In terms of travel mode, nearly half of people still choose planes.
"Planes are not necessarily more expensive than trains." Xiaoli, a college student, said confidently. She went to Thailand last November, and the round-trip ticket was less than that of 1000 yuan.
"I will try to choose a low-cost airline. Although the seats are relatively narrow, plane meals and consignments must be purchased separately, but the price is indeed favorable. If you catch up with the big promotion, it is possible to fly dozens of pieces to Southeast Asia. " She said.
Accommodation is also the key to saving money. 21% college students choose youth hostels when they travel, and 61% choose express hotels and homestays. Star hotels rarely appear in college students’ travel budgets.
Xiaoli told reporters that she always stays in youth travel when she travels. "The most important thing is health and safety. Living in youth travel can make more new friends. Travelers from all over the world share their travel experiences and even travel together. These are the most vivid parts of the trip. "
"Poor Travel" God teaches you how to save money.
In recent years, poor travel with difficult conditions but deep experience has become more and more popular among college students. In the survey, more than 76% of the students agree with poor travel, and about 40% of them have had poor travel experience. Boys have more poor travel experience than girls.
Xiao Liu, a student of Guangzhou University, visited Beijing, Hailar, Manzhouli, Mohe and Harbin this summer vacation, which lasted for 29 days and only cost 2,500 yuan.
Accommodation in Beijing was solved by finding a sofa guest and staying in a friend’s dormitory.
Being a couch potato saves money, but how to ensure safety? Xiao Liu told reporters: "After contacting the owner, we should observe all kinds of information, log photos, Weibo and so on of the owner on the Internet, first have a basic impression on the owner, and then contact the owner of the local sofa group. The owner of the group is generally reliable, and he will recommend you to the famous sofa owner in the local area. You can judge carefully by combining the information of both parties. "
In Inner Mongolia and Northeast China, Xiao Liu also carried out a 2000-kilometer hiking trip. Standing on the national highway, he held a card with a destination in one hand and a thumb in the other, and "cut off" 13 enthusiastic drivers all the way. When you can’t get a ride, you will hike, and you will always be ready to spend the night on the roadside with your tent and sleeping bag.
The safety of hitchhiking has also been controversial. Recently, many cases of college students in distress due to taking a black car have been exposed in China. Liu Ye admitted that he was worried all the way. "Hitchhiking is about mutual trust. Many times, the driver who drives you is also worried about their own safety. It is best to go hand in hand."
Xiao Xie, a girl, also has her own safety tips for hitchhiking. Last summer vacation, she walked alone in Yunnan and hitchhiked around.
Her approach is: "First, take the initiative to chat with the driver and learn as much as possible about the driver’s information, so as to distinguish between good and bad; The second is to call a friend in front of the driver and pretend to make an appointment with a friend at the destination, so that the driver can dispel the evil intention that may be caused by a girl walking alone; Third, keep in touch with the outside world through Weibo WeChat, and take photos with drivers and put them online just in case. Going out, it is always right to have multiple minds. "
A senior "donkey friend" pointed out that poor travel does save money and is special, but it should be carried out under the premise of safety. Before going on a poor tour, you often need to do a lot of data collection and physical exercise preparation, which is not suitable for everyone. College students still have to choose the right way to travel according to their own ability and physical quality. (Reporter Lin Shining Intern Lu Yanjun)
