Key Highlights
- China's domestic tourist business was prospering before the outbreak. Between 2009 and 2019, the number of domestic tourist excursions tripled from roughly 1 billion in 2009 to 3.1 billion in 2019. As a result, domestic tourism is China's most significant tourist source market and is crucial to the recovery of the country's travel sector as the pandemic subsides.
- In 2021, VFR, the second biggest domestic travel market in China, accounted for 32% of all trips. Festivals, festivities, and national holidays are the primary drivers of VFR. There is a huge increase in domestic tourism during festivals and national holidays year after year.
- China's overall risk score was 34.1 giving the destination a low-risk rating. Good infrastructure and a high-performing economy were the key factors for its success. Below is an analysis of some of the critical factors which contributed to the 34.1 ratings, resulting in China placing at #36 in the world for its overall risk rating.
- Due to the expanding middle-class population (630 million by 2022) and the country's economy, domestic tourism accounts for a major proportion of the country's overall tourism income. Domestic tourism will propel China's recovery and gain momentum rapidly.
