In recent years, more and more people in mainland China are reluctant to leave their furry friends at home alone, leading to a quiet rise of companies specializing in pet travel groups! Have you ever tried taking your cat or dog on vacation? This trend of “pet travel enthusiasm” is really heating up, especially among the younger crowd, with many stating, “I can’t relax going out without my furry friend!”
When it comes to pet travel groups, there are already many market offerings focused on “traveling with pets,” such as the mainland brands like “Pet Traveler” and “Pet Planet,” which all boast customized, charter services. They even arrange for professional pet guides and on-the-spot veterinarians to accompany you, ensuring pet owners feel at ease! The itineraries are quite diverse: some focus on urban outskirts while others highlight grasslands, beaches, or even hot spring resorts, allowing pets to play freely. Not only that, but there are also theme camping, pet parties, and photo-sharing tours, so even your furry friends can enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, truly becoming KOLs in the pet world!
Think it’s expensive? Not at all! Many businesses even offer a “two persons and one pet” package that includes charter transportation, accommodation, and meals, starting at about 2,000 to 3,000 RMB per group. This is even more popular than traditional family trips. Recently, a company revealed that during the May Day golden week, group buying inquiries surged threefold compared to the same period last year, with many popular routes fully booked early! Participants commented, “I used to think taking pets out was a hassle, but now with full-service offerings, it’s easy and worry-free.”
Of course, some netizens are discussing the new business opportunities brought by “pet travel,” with hotels, tourist attractions, and even transportation companies racing to launch pet-friendly facilities. In cities like Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Chengdu, many upscale homestays have specially opened “pet-friendly rooms,” equipped with exclusive cleaning supplies and pet mattresses, which is really considerate. Some homestay owners even revealed that during peak season, these “pet rooms” are hard to come by as everyone competes to pamper their furry clients!
However, joining a pet travel group isn’t without its requirements. The industry advises that all types of pets need to have their vaccines done and health checks completed, and safety for pets during the trip must also be taken into account. Simultaneously, some owners jokingly say, “While humans are afraid of the heat, dogs also fear it. Playing with their owners every day until they’re exhausted, they still come home and need a break!”
In summary, bringing cats and dogs out for trips has become a trend in mainland China, and related industries are continuously evolving. In the future, there may be even more creative and interesting pet travel experiences that let both you and your furry friends explore the world together.
