Tourist attractions, travel agencies and hotels in Taicang have lost many customers due to the hot weather. Even low-cost travel routes offered by travel agencies have lost their appeal.

Dramatic decrease in tourist volume

According to the Modern Agricultural Park, tourist volume has decreased dramatically. The continuous heat makes travel uncomfortable, even under the shade of trees. What’s more, lotuses often wilt due to the severe heat.

People prefer staying inside rather than going outside.

Before sunset, many parents will take their children to Yan Shan Park, which offers free entry during the summer holiday.

Water activities

The heat has encouraged many travel agencies to open up several routes themed around water. What’s more, the agencies have also lowered prices to appeal to more tourists.

According to travel agencies, tours and activities are being slowed down so tourists can get enough rest. Safety should be a priority when traveling, especially in severe weather. Tourists should bring heatstroke medicine with them and rest often.
