Summer in China isn’t just about ice cream and beach days—it’s shaping up to be the season of family adventures! 🧳 With schools out and wanderlust high, families across the Chinese mainland are packing their bags, driving what experts predict could be the most vibrant tourism season in years.
Why Families Are Taking Off 🚀
Online travel platform LY.com reports that travelers with kids will make up 34.7% of domestic flights and 23% of international trips this July-August—both up from 2024. Meanwhile, Beijing’s Utour agency has already seen a 70% spike in summer bookings compared to last year, with family trips dominating 60% of their sales.
First-Time Flyers on the Rise 🌟
Over 6 million people are expected to board planes for the first time this summer, according to LY.com. From theme park getaways to cultural deep-dives, families are splurging on experiences that blend education with entertainment. "This isn’t just a rebound—it’s a travel revolution," says Utour’s Li Mengran.
