The enthusiasm for travel during this year's May Day holiday may see a surge, with some travelers booking tickets for the National Day holiday in October in advance.
As of March 5, there has been a more than 50 percent year-on-year increase in users showing early interest in booking travel tickets for the May Day holiday this year, according to Tongcheng Travel, a travel agency based in Jiangsu province.
Hotels in cities such as Chongqing, Changsha, Xi'an, Nanjing, Nanchang, Wuhan, Tianjin, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Qingdao are in high demand for the May Day holiday.
Travelers have booked flights for the National Day holiday seven months in advance, according to Qunar, a Beijing-based online travel agency. Routes include Shanghai to Beijing, Guangzhou to Beijing, and Shenzhen to Chengdu.
Tourism industry experts said the remarkable recovery of the tourism market during this year's Spring Festival has further boosted confidence in the industry, ThePaper reported.
Peng Han, chief analyst at Travel Daily, said this year's Spring Festival tourism market has exceeded pre-pandemic levels in terms of both domestic tourist numbers and tourism revenue.
The steady recovery since 2023 indicates sustained growth in tourism, offering significant potential in the market, Peng said.
The thriving tourism market suggests an increasing role of service-oriented consumption in China's economy, becoming a key economic driver in 2024, he added.
