Chinese travellers spent 43% less over the five-day Labour Day holiday that ended on Wednesday than a year earlier, government data showed, as tightening COVID-19 prevention measures being rolled out across the country hit consumption.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism said on Wednesday that Chinese domestic travel revenue tumbled to 64.7 billion yuan , and the 160 million trips made over the holiday marked a 30.2% year-on-year decrease.
It also said that tourist traffic was weak across popular domestic destinations including tropical Hainan Island, Jiuzhaigou National Park and West Lake in the city of Hangzhou, which all reported large falls in visitor numbers. Five-day box office takings of 297 million yuan during the holiday were the lowest of recent years, and down sharply from last year's 1.67 billion yuan, the online ticket platform Dengta, backed by Alibaba, showed.
