China’s tourism has seen a strong recovery during this year’s National Day holiday period, the first extended holiday since the COVID-19 outbreak, with many expecting that it will boost China’s service sector following the impacts of COVID-19. 

As of Friday, China’s tourist numbers resumed to 80.3 percent of the same period last year, while domestic tourism revenue totaled 76.51 billion yuan ($11.28 billion), recovering to 69.5 percent of that of last year.

According to the local cultural and tourism department, as of Friday afternoon, 30 major tourist attractions in Hubei have received a total number of 311,000 visits, with total revenues reaching 27.75 million yuan, recovering to 85.5 percent of last year, despite the “free ticket policy” in Wuhan on the first day of holiday.
