Another important reason for senior Chinese tourists to travel during this period is the cheap price. Most of them still travel in groups and after the Golden Week, almost all the travel agencies will see a significant decrease in number of tourists, so they will lower the price significantly. Taking this year as an example, after the Golden Week, the price of a trip to SE Asia decreased 20% to 40%.
