# Institutions: The booking volume of homestays in suburban areas of major cities during the "May Day" holiday increased by nearly 20% year-on-year

Beijing Business News (Reporter Wu Qiyun) On April 16, Tujia Homestay released the "2026 May Day Homestay Booking Report," which shows that this year's "May Day" holiday, residents of large cities are more inclined to vacation in suburban homestays "near home" or take short trips to nearby cities within a 5-hour drive.

Tujia's data indicates that during the "May Day" holiday, the booking volume of suburban homestays in large cities increased by nearly 20% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the top 5 destinations for homestay bookings by Shanghai tourists are Shanghai, Suzhou, Huzhou, Hangzhou, and Taizhou; the top 5 destinations for Beijing tourists are Beijing, Tianjin, Qinhuangdao, Qingdao, and Datong; and the top 5 destinations for Guangzhou tourists are Huizhou, Guangzhou, Shanwei, Qingyuan, and Zhangzhou. During the "May Day" period, the booking volume for homestays with small courtyards in suburban areas increased by nearly 30% year-on-year.

Tujia Senior Vice President Hu Yang stated that urban residents pursuing "relaxation" in their travels are naturally more suited to stay in homestays. Homestays typically offer larger public spaces, more complete kitchen and laundry facilities, as well as leisure areas such as courtyards, terraces, and tea rooms, which can better meet the "relaxation" needs of different customer groups such as families, friends, and couples.

This year's "May Day" holiday, the integrated consumption model of "performance + tourism" remains popular, with many concerts and music festivals running for 3-4 days, significantly boosting the homestay market in hosting cities. During the "May Day" holiday, singer Hua Chenyu will hold four concerts in Yuxi, Yunnan, and Tujia's data shows that the concert has propelled the Fuxian Lake scenic area to become the top popular business district nationwide, with Yuxi homestay bookings increasing by 7 times year-on-year. Additionally, the Super Galaxy Left Bank Music Festival held from May 3 to 5 has driven homestay bookings in Luzhou, Sichuan, to increase by 8 times year-on-year, making it the fastest-growing city in the country. In Guangzhou, the Times Youth League has officially announced four concerts, leading to a shortage of homestays around the venue and a 50% year-on-year increase in Guangzhou homestay bookings.

On the Tujia platform, during the "May Day" period, over 60% of homestay consumers at concert venues are from the post-2000 generation. For many young consumers, homestays are more suitable for group travel and multiple occupants, making it easier to continue the emotional experience after the performance. After watching the concert, they can continue chatting, reminiscing, editing videos, and having late-night snacks with their companions in the homestay
