BEIJING, March 16 (Xinhua) -- Chinese tourism service platform fliggy has seen many popular outbound travel products for the May Day holiday this year sold out, reported Shanghai Securities News Wednesday.
As China lifted more travel restrictions after it optimized its COVID-19 response, Chinese people's travel demands might rush out during the five-day holiday.
According to data from fliggy, so far, the reservations for hotels home and abroad during the May Day holiday have far exceeded the same period before the pandemic.
A number of Chinese tourists will start their first long-distance outbound trip in nearly three years during the holiday.
Judging from situations in previous years, the booking peak for the May Day holiday has not yet arrived, and in the next month or more, more travel product inventories will be released, with new products exclusively for the holiday also launched, said an executive from fliggy.
The demands for online visa processing are also on the rise. In the past one week, visa searches on the fliggy platform increased by 886 percent year on year, while visa processing 680 percent year on year. Japan, Thailand, the United States, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, France, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Philippines have become popular destinations.
