China's tourism authorities announced yesterday that the sector enjoyed a bumper period during the seven-day Lunar New Year holiday, with more than 70 percent of trips made within the Chinese mainland.
"According to data from major bureaus, in the first five days, people made many more trips than before," said an official with the National Holiday Tourism Office.
Meanwhile, outbound trips from Beijing also increased sharply. A total of 67,500 people left the capital for overseas destinations during the holiday, an increase of 59.6 percent on last year. From February 2 through yesterday, 350 flights departed from China for Thailand alone.
By 2015, the number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad on holiday is expected to top 83.75 million, according to some experts.
