主持人：毕业旅行不仅仅是年轻人的一次旅行，它融合了仪式感、情感意义和实际考量，成为一种快速增长的趋势，尤其是在中国。这种趋势的兴起，源于年轻人对自我认同的日益关注、家庭动态的变化、社会节奏的差异以及旅游业的战略性拥抱。毕业旅行作为一种仪式化的告别方式，标志着重要的人生转折，它提供了一种比合影或告别晚宴更个人化的情感释放空间。改变环境和放慢节奏有助于毕业生反思成就，为未来做好心理准备。毕业和开始工作或上大学之间存在一个独特的空档期，这段时间没有学业压力，非常适合旅行。越来越多的毕业生，特别是高中毕业生，选择与父母一起旅行，促进家庭沟通，创造共同的成长记忆，形成新的代际联系。旅游业通过推出针对毕业生的优惠活动，积极推动毕业旅行的普及和扩张，航空公司增加航班，城市推广本地文化旅游计划，进一步扩大了毕业旅行的规模和范围。

Shownotes Transcript

In this episode of “Graduation Trips: A Common Choice Among Today’s Young Generation”,we explore the key drivers behind the rising popularity ofgraduation trips among Chinese youth. The graduation trips serve as a ritualized farewell marking major life transitions. Furthermore, we shift to travel choices and behaviors, examining where and how graduates travel. Preferences show a dual focus: classic cultural hubs remain popular for their historical depth, while lesser-known cities attract seekers of immersive local experiences and affordability. Overseas travel also surges due to visa policies and off-peak pricing. Ultimately, graduation trips have evolved into a holistic, self-driven life practice that meets youth’s emotional, social, and growth needs, reflecting a deeper desire for purposeful navigation of life transitions.‌ Enjoy this episode, andhave a blast during your trips!
