Student travel industry heats up

Summer is bringing more than housing sales. It's also peak travel season for students and families who take advantage of the break in the school year. And travel agents have been taking advantage of the upcoming travel boom, with new tours on offer.

This travel agency is selling several 2- or 3-day tours to destinations like Beijing, Hebei and Shandong Province. These cheaper tours have been specially designed for high school graduates.

Another trip, a 5-day tour to Hainan, costs about 2 thousand yuan, ten percent cheaper than last year.
