During the five-day May Day holiday from May 1 to 5, China witnessed 1.36 billion cross-regional trips, averaging over 270 million daily, as per data from the Ministry of Transport.

Domestic travel experienced significant growth, evidenced by double-digit increases in per capita bookings and consumption. Outbound travel saw a remarkable three-fold surge compared to previous years, with Chinese tourists visiting destinations worldwide, including popular spots like Thailand and Japan.
