Tourism has become a new growth point for China’s economy, with inbound tourism growing rapidly

The Wall Street Journal reported that with the expansion of domestic tourism and the rapid development of inbound tourism, tourism is becoming an increasingly noteworthy growth point in the Chinese economy. The article pointed out that China is accelerating its move towards becoming a "tourism power". It is expected that the proportion of tourism-related revenue in GDP will increase from 4.8% in 2024 to 6.7% by 2030, and the market size will increase from approximately US$1 trillion in 2025 to approximately US$1.8 trillion.

The domestic tourism market is also huge. In the first half of the year, Chinese residents made nearly 3.5 billion domestic trips, a year-on-year increase of 5.4%.
