It is hard to book a table for New Year's Eve. Recently, the reporter visited some old-fashioned restaurants and hotels in Shanghai, and many popular restaurants have been hard to find a table for New Year's Eve. A person in charge of a restaurant said that their New Year's Eve dinner had been sold out as early as May. Some restaurants added a "annual lunch" at noon on New Year's Eve, and reservations were equally hot. Some citizens simply invited the chef to go home and cook a reunion dinner at home. It is understood that the price of a New Year's Eve dinner ranges from 4,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan depending on the dishes and the number of dishes. Reunion is an important part of the Spring Festival culture. This year, in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, the new model of "New Year's Eve+Tourism" has lengthened the reunion time and become a new choice for many consumers. As the Spring Festival holiday will be increased to 8 days next year, some travel agencies have expanded the route of New Year's Eve dinner from the regular Yangtze River Delta to the medium and long-term routes, including destinations such as Yunnan and Heilongjiang. In addition to domestic travel, the registration of outbound travel routes is also very popular, especially in some new visa-free countries. (CCTV Finance)
