Pack your bags, adventurers! China's National Day holiday is fueling a major travel rebound, with cross-border trips expected to hit a daily average of 1.75 million – an 18.5% jump compared to last year, according to the National Immigration Administration.
The surge reflects growing wanderlust post-pandemic, driven by eased travel protocols and increased airline capacity. Destinations like Hong Kong, Macao, and the island of Taiwan are seeing spikes in visits, while outbound flights to Southeast Asia and Europe are fully booked. Business travelers and culture enthusiasts alike are riding the wave, blending work and play in Asia’s buzzing hubs.
Analysts say the boom signals renewed confidence in global mobility, with tech-savvy Gen Z and millennials using apps to plan itineraries faster than you can say “jet lag.” Pro tip: If you’re still planning a trip, expect crowded landmarks – but epic Instagram moments!
