Hotels, cruise ships, civil aviation

Yesterday, i painted a post, a plan to travel clearly and the girl who bought the air ticket from qatar lost her mind。
Only a week or two before the flight took off, she spent every day crouching around red books and reddits, making herself half a military expert。
But she was most impressed by the fact that last week, when she was supposed to buy a different airliner, many people told her to wait, and then managed to wait up to $13,000 for her original $8,000, and then up to $23,000 for her。
The comment section was groaning, all the same。
One of the same networkers who bought the airline tickets said it was too much, that he had never been so concerned about the country, that he had bought the south flight option, that it had not gone too crazy at that time, and that he had gnawed off the ticket。
Turning down the comment section, whether it's a buyback or a re-sign, each message is followed by a busy tourist who can only watch the figures on the budget table get higher。
In fact, the increase in airline fares has not been news since march, but the density and intensity of the two days can be described in terms of the sheer cost of fuel, which is enough to make a pot of it。
According to incomplete travel statistics, the fuel surcharge for the flight of shanghai airlines to kuala lumpur and penang jumped directly from $180 to $360, while the popular japanese destinations of shanghai, osaka, fukuoka and nagoya, were relatively soft, from $200 to $312。
The spring and autumn were no exceptions, while the additional fuel charge for the china-to-indonesia flight from the jeongxia airlines increased to $600, as well as $550 to thailand, singapore, malaysia and the philippines, and about 15 per cent to the indonesia fuel bill from xiamen airlines。
The increase was even more pronounced in the hong kong region, with a large number of shipping lines having doubled their fuel charges, and in some cases in two consecutive increases in fuel surcharge rates within a week。
As for the three flights, they didn't hold。
South america has notified the agency of an increase of $100 for china-south-east asia, 270 for china-australia, 250 for china-united states and 500 for business。
Other market sources have reported that national, east and sea flights are also planning to follow up on fuel price increases or to be announced this week。
If the increase in the price of fuel for airline tickets was anticipated by many, it would be difficult for many to understand the surcharge on fuel for cruise companies。
As indicated in a circular from the cloudtop dream under the banner of the stardam cruise ship, fuel prices have risen significantly as a result of the geopolitics of the middle east. As of 20 march, the newly booked cloudtop dream flight will charge each passenger a surcharge for fuel at the rate of 15 new yuan per night (approximately 75 yuan yuan), with no distinction between two years and older。
It was also previously reported that due to an increase in the price of crude oil in the maldives, which was subsequently settled at the new price, the island of flavasi had risen from around $12,000 to $15,000 per person on 15 march, and the island of anatatara, which had been synchronized since 1 april。
Hotel agents in the maldives have disclosed to the hotel community that more hotel price increases are still on the way, depending on fuel generation and the shipping of goods。
Three lines of air tickets, cruise ships and hotels were rising simultaneously, and the price of oil in the straits of hormuz, 6,000 kilometres away, was eventually translated into the number of jumps on domestic middle output bills。

There's an increase in the bill, but a lot of people don't get it: how come the straits of hormuz are so far away from us that even the maldives hotel and the singapore cruise ship have gone up
It starts with a barrel of oil。
After the holmuze strait was blocked, one fifth of the world's crude oil could not be shipped, and international crude oil had already surpassed $110 by 19 march, from $85 per barrel before the conflict。
In the middle east, where a butterfly fanned its wings, the domestic price of finished oil was also projected to increase by more than $1. 2 per litre, a rare single increase in recent years, affecting even self-drive。
Oil prices went up. And
The first hit was by airlines, with aviation fuel accounting for 30 to 40 per cent of the total operating cost of the division, the largest variable。
Moreover, the price volatility of aviation kerosene is more severe than that of crude oil, and there is a need to compress oil production capacity and transport costs。
There are only two ways ahead of the division, either to carry it or to turn it around on the passengers, while the cash flow on the accounts of the division is already tight, so the essence of the intensive price surge of the past two weeks is that the division chose the latter collectively, and the three voyages followed。
Moreover, the cost of this round of airline tickets is still up。
Fuel surcharges for domestic shipping lines are adjusted once a month, with the three main flights currently operating at the old january standard and 5 april as the next pricing window。
If oil prices remain in this position, it is generally expected that there will be a sharp jump in the industry, that clear-sighted travelers will catch the last window before the price is adjusted, and those on the first trip will probably have to eat new prices, so early ticket-buying will be the rule for consumers who need to travel。
The accounts of the cruise ship are heavier than those of the aircraft。
Public information indicates that a large cruise ship burns 150 to 300 tons of heavy oil per day, that oil prices rise by 20 per cent and that the cost of fuel for a voyage could be hundreds of thousands more。
The profit margin of the cruise company was already low, and the amount of money earned by the ship's tax-free shops and casinos could not be borne, so the stardream cruise was quite straightforward, each receiving an additional 15 new dollars per night, which did not seem to be much, with three members on a five-night voyage, and the billing was more than 225 new dollars, equivalent to over 1,000 yuan。
Of course, some smart cruise companies offset the cost with service fees, tips and fares, but in essence wool comes out on the sheep and ultimately pays the consumer。
As for the island hotels, which many people did not expect at all, they also went up。
We take the example of maldives, where the vast majority of high-end resort islands have no access to the national electricity grid, where air-conditioning operations, desalination equipment, refrigeration systems for restaurants, are being maintained by a huge diesel generator ringing day and night。
The sharp rise in crude oil prices means that every barrel of diesel that arrives on the island consumes the daily profits of hotels。
Worse still, logistics does not produce any consumer goods on the island, even if a bottle of water or a steak comes from a small boat. The price of diesel has risen, and the cost of maritime logistics naturally follows the increase。

In late-night calculations, hotel managers found that, according to last year’s room pricing, open doors were barely adequate, resistance was impossible, and a direct increase in the unit price was the only self-help means of maintaining service standards and running the company。
They form a layer of layers, which eventually converges into the total amount of cooler gas on the bill for the first time。

The high premium paid by the chinese producers for this holiday is essentially to pay for this uncertain world。
In the face of unexpected bills overload, the vast majority of middle-born bodies tend to be more honest than their mouths, and they vote with their feet to quickly change the upcoming decision-making process for the qingmin and the five one。
As a result, the oil boom is like a watershed that is tearing the tourist market apart into two different parts。
The threshold for travel has now been raised significantly。
The additional thousands of fuel premiums turned into invisible filters that sifted out price-sensitive customers。
In the east of the country, where the rains are rising to the west, the country is becoming rich across and around the country, and consumption is shifting into the most pragmatic option for middle-income households。
The national grid-driven high-iron network is the largest source of security for ordinary people, with no fear of paying hundreds of fuel surcharges after the tickets have been bought, compared to transnational flights that see the international situation changing daily。
Those tourists who had planned to travel to south-east asia in japan and korea would have been able to turn their budgets around and cross the country。
In times of economic stagnation, bringing the distance closer and lowering the consumer budget will be the core guiding principle of the current tour。
As a result, it appears that the closure of hormuz is good news for the country's tourist province。
But if we look at it in the long term, it is only the beginning。
Even if this medium-term output were completely abandoned, the overall cost of travel in 2026 would be much more expensive than in previous years。
Just as fuel pricing on domestic routes is only a matter of time, the pricing of tourism products is all over the body, and if the upstream artery increases, downstream follower tours, free-riding packages and even ground service, it will inevitably rise。
Consumption segmentation in the tourism market can become more intense than ever, with those who shrink their wallets looking for laxity in a limited urban radius, and those who have the strength to pay for the same destination paying for more real money and silver than ever before。
Tourists have also had to face colder business realities, and the age of low-cost tourism is probably really over。
Over the past few years, the tourism industry as a whole has been extremely inward, with travel agents, hotels, and aviation divisions struggling to rob people with price wars, and everyone is making a lot of money and trying to bring people in with extremely low prices。
The situation has changed completely, and when the cost of filling an aircraft with oil approaches the total amount of special fare fares, any commercial logic that attempts to rely on low prices will collapse in an instant。
In the face of this irresistible macro-business pressure, all tourism operators have the only option to abandon low-priced, non-profit or even non-profit-making products and to refocus on core operations that have a profit margin and cover high operating costs。
At the same time, as the world becomes more and more expensive, it is time to learn to adapt to this brand-new bill, no matter how much the middle-class misss the old weekends when a cheap ticket can go to the tropical islands。
