China sees surge in travel demand for extended Lunar New Year holiday

Quick Summary:

Flights and group tours are already booking up weeks ahead of the eight-day public holiday, which begins on January 28.

Lin Huanjie, dean of the Institute for Theme Park Studies in China, said that consumers’ strong enthusiasm for travel was likely to continue throughout next year, and that the Chinese tourism sector could grow by over 5 per cent in 2025.

The move is designed to stimulate consumer spending, particularly among middle-class and lower-income groups who have been cutting back to save money.
