Global technology-driven travel distribution company, DidaTravel, announces the return of Chinese tourists during the May Day holidays. With the relaxation of Chinese travel restrictions and the increased availability of vaccines, Chinese travellers are eager to explore the world once again.

Bookings in China for overseas travel continue to recover rapidly. According to recent data, international hotel bookings by Chinese travellers for the upcoming May Day holiday, for which many people in China take 5 days off from 29 April to 3 May, have increased 30-fold year-on-year, exceeding pre-pandemic 2019 volumes by 18%. The ADR of Chinese international hotel bookings has also increased by 47% year-on-year, reaching 95% of its 2019 level. In addition, the average international length of an international hotel stay is around 2 nights over the May Day holiday, in line with pre-pandemic data.
