Using AliExpress’s new travel tab and 1+1 coupon promotions, a family trip to Osaka was planned for 3 nights and 4 days with significantly lower costs and more experiences. The 1+1 deals offered 50% off round-trip flights for two or more, a free night for hotel stays of two nights or more, and 50% off select attraction tickets (e.g., Universal Studios Japan). Timing mattered: a flash airfare dropped from about 400,000 won to 200,000 won, and a hotel with a free-night offer cut lodging costs by roughly one-third. Highlights included Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan (home to a whale shark exhibit), the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, a day trip to Nara Park to feed tame deer (deer feed sold for 200 yen), and a full day at Universal Studios Japan with Nintendo World and seasonal shows. Total cost for two adults and two children was about 1,000,000 won thanks to coupon savings. AliExpress plans to expand short-trip offerings across Asia (Fukuoka, Shanghai, Taipei) and is testing package tours. The rapid growth in travel transactions has alarmed local OTAs, which worry that repeated bundled discounts on flights, hotels, and attraction tickets could change where consumers start their travel searches.
