淄博爆火出圈，成最热门烧烤目的地

Zibo City is so hot for its cooking. The Shandong Province city has emerged as an unlikely, but trendy travel destination on the strength of its barbecue restaurants. Its popularity has risen so much that extra trains have been added between the provincial capital Jinan and Zibo for the May Day holiday. Lei Shuran has more.

淄博烧烤火速出圈，山东省的这座城市已出人意料地成为因烤肉店而广受大众欢迎的时尚旅游目的地。随着淄博的旅游热度不断提升，五一期间，省会济南和淄博之间增加了列车车次。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。

The special route was launched yesterday and will be available until May 7th. It takes one hour to travel between Jinan and Zibo.

“我们从济南专门买了（烧烤）专列（车票），天天被‘种草’，再不去淄博就不礼貌了。”

“We bought tickets on the special train to go for a barbecue. I see people recommending the barbecue there every day, and can't resist going there.”

A food court in Zibo is home to many barbecue restaurants and it has become the city's most popular destination. One restaurant ran out of meat just 4 hours after opening all while a long queue of customers were still waiting for a table. The owner said sales had almost doubled the number in 2019.

淄博的一个美食广场上有许多烧烤店，已成为该市最受欢迎的目的地。一家餐馆开张仅4小时，肉就卖光了，而顾客们还在排着长队等位。店主表示，与2019年相比，销售额几乎翻了一番。

“每天卖500斤肉，能同时招待1000人左右。我们每晚最多可以供应210张桌子。”

“Every day we sell 250 kilograms of meat, which is enough for about 1,000 customers. We can serve a maximum of 210 tables per night.”

Zibo's barbecue scene gained online attention last month. Short videos showed people eating the barbecued skewers【串肉扦】 with a spring onion and wrapped in a pancake. The videos quickly made people from other cities want to go to Zibo for a barbecue. The city's hotel bookings have soared 800 percent compared to 2019, making it one of the hottest travel destinations in the country.

Online travel agencies are reporting a year-on-year surge of 700 percent in trip bookings for the holiday. The pent-up demand to travel abroad has been gradually unleashed【释放】 as well.

“今年五一假期出境游的预定相较于今年的春节期间，又增长了超过2倍。在这个前提下，我们发现其实年轻人的旅游消费观正在发生变化，大家对于新奇的商品越来越关注，比如我们今年2月底上线了南极游，上线的第一天销量超过了100件。”

“Compared to the Spring Festival this year, our outbound trip bookings for the Labor Day holiday have more than doubled. More travelers, especially young people, are showing interest in many niche travel packages. For example, we received more than 100 bookings the day we launched an Antarctica tour.”

More outbound travel packages will be available at some point as the Ministry of Transportation announced that international cruises will be restored after a three-year suspension. Many cruise companies have been preparing and look forward to a full recovery in the sector.

交通运输部宣布停航三年的国际邮轮将恢复运营，未来有更多的出境游套餐可供选择。许多邮轮公司一直在做复航准备，并期待着该行业的全面复苏。

“主要目的地包括中国的一些周边国家，比如日本、韩国、菲律宾，而且邮轮本身就是一个目的地，是海上度假村，我们也会做好准备。预计大概一年半到两年的时间能恢复到疫情前的水平。”

"We are preparing cruises【邮轮】 to countries nearby, including Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. The cruise itself is a destination, a resort. We also need to get our cruise liners ready. We expect the industry to fully recover to the pre-covid level within one-and-a-half to two years."

According to the China Tourism Academy, 4.5 billion domestic trips will be taken this year, roughly 76 percent of that in 2019. Inbound and outbound travel is expected to see a twofold year-on-year rise to 90 million this year.  

根据中国旅游研究院的数据，今年国内旅游人次将达到45亿，约为2019年的76%。预计今年的入出境旅游人次将达到9000万，同比翻一番。
