From bottoming out, to steady recovery, and then to robust growth - the curve of China’s tourism development since pandemic is just like the country’s economic trajectory for the past decades.

While a big part of the world is still struggling to control the spread of COVID-19, business in China is already taking a leading position in returning to normalcy.

Admittedly, international travel is still at a standstill, but domestic tourism of the world’s second-largest economy has neared full recovery since the third quarter last year. The number of domestic Chinese flights in September 2020 topped the 2019 levels, according to data from the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
