As China's travel agencies opened outbound group travel and offered flight and hotel packages to tourists for Chinese citizens to 20 nations since February 6, the first outbound group of tourists in Chongqing will depart this weekend.

Many local travel agencies also confirmed that tour groups flying directly from Chongqing to Bangkok, Thailand, will resume from February 15.

The Chinese mainland resumed normal travel with the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, and group tours were restarted on February 6. Outbound travel and Hong Kong and Macau tours have rapidly become hot topics on major travel services platforms such as Ctrip, Fliggy, and Tongcheng Travel.
