Referring to the report of Ministry Culture and Tourism of China, in national holiday, we got a positive figure in tourism industry. This year’s national holiday and Mid Autumn festival meet together, therefore we had got 8 holidays, and many people elect to hang out for their holiday. Due to the Covid19 issue, almost all countries were locked down, so Chinese people only can choose domestic tour. During the national holiday, totally 618million Chinese join the domestic tour，compare with the same period of last year, it recovered 79%, and total revenue of domestic tour is 454 billion 330 million which is recovered 69.9%. It means that China’s tourism industry steps back to normal gradually, and plenty of travel agencies are revising their strategy base on current situation, they are developing lots of local tourist routes for saving their business, and try to earn more money during Christmas and new year period.
