After a booming summer season, the tourism market has seen an upsurge on both the supply and demand sides, which resulted in an "eight-day Golden Week" holiday.
Travel volume hit a new high during the holiday. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism released a report on Friday saying that domestic attractions received around 826 million visits over the break, from Sept 29 to Friday.
Tourism-related revenue registered remarkable growth, reaching around 753.4 billion yuan in eight days.
Travel agencies and industry insiders said that the tourism market saw a good recovery over the holiday and people tended to make more reasonable plans for their days off. Also, long-distance destinations were top choices for travelers during the eight-day break.
