The Chinese mainland experienced a massive surge in travel during the Spring Festival, with over 7.2 billion inter-regional trips recorded from January 26 to February 27. This marks a significant 10.6% increase compared to the same period last year.
Official data released during a press conference by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday highlights the robust rebound in domestic travel, reflecting the continued resilience and growth of the Chinese mainland's transportation and tourism sectors.
The Spring Festival, traditionally the largest annual human migration globally, showcases the nation's infrastructure capabilities and the economic vitality driven by consumer spending during this festive season.
Experts suggest that the rise in travel numbers is also indicative of increasing consumer confidence and the effectiveness of public health measures that have allowed for a smoother travel experience this year.
