As of August 28, several Chinese domestic online travel agencies, including Ctrip, Qunar, Fliggy and Tuniu have posted their data of this year’s summer vacation.
During the first month of the summer vacation, long-haul tourism saw a steady recovery after the cautionary asterisk was removed from China’s travel code apps.
Data from Tuniu showed in July, 84 percent of travelers chose independent long distance trips. By the end of July, the number of travelers booking independent tourism products increased by 5 percentage points from the same period of last year.
With more scientific, precise and optimized epidemic control measures, people are more willing therefore confidence in travel is improving, said Xie Xiaoqing, a senior researcher at the Ctrip Research Institute.
