Comic-Con sparked a hotel booking boom in Shanghai, with searches for some hotels soaring by nearly 360%

Since July, the hot summer travel has driven the peak of hotel bookings as expected. In Shanghai, due to the successive performances of multiple animation exhibitions, tens of thousands of animation enthusiasts have flocked from all over the country, which has also brought fire to Shanghai hotel reservations. The person in charge of the hotel said that popular hotels during the comic exhibition have to be snatched, and some people even start booking rooms half a year in advance. The guests include not only comic exhibition audiences, but also employees and overseas animation stars. In the first week of July, the number of searches for hotels near the National Exhibition and Convention Center increased by nearly 360% month-on-month. The person in charge of a high-star hotel in Shanghai on a certain platform said that within 5 kilometers of the Shanghai National Exhibition and Convention Center, the hourly room sales rate of high-star hotels reached 90%. Hotels around the comic exhibition, which cost 400 to 1,000 yuan per night, have become the first choice for "post-95s" and "post-00s".
