Bookings in China for trips abroad during the upcoming May Day holiday point to a continued recovery in travel to Asian countries, but the numbers remain far off pre-COVID levels with long-haul airfares soaring and not enough flights available.
Overseas tour bookings for the upcoming holiday, for which many in China are off from April 29 until May 3, are up 157% from the beginning of April, according to Ctrip, the country's largest online travel firm.
In February, over 150,000 Chinese tourists travelled to Thailand, the latest data from the Thai Ministry of Tourism show - a three year high but still 85% below February 2019 levels."It mainly has to do with supply-side constraints in the air industry and tourism sector in destination countries," said Sheana Yue, China economist at Capital Economics.
Flights to Europe are up to 80% more expensive than before the pandemic, according to ForwardKeys, a travel data firm.
