China Expects 344 Million Holiday Travelers

Beijing port entry and exit passenger numbers are predicted to exceed 334,000 during the upcoming holiday period. Beijing border authorities expect inbound and outbound passenger volume to exceed 334,000 people during the May 1 holiday period. Beijing port traffic reached 80,000 passenger trips on April 26, representing a 10.6% increase compared to the same period last year. This increase is attributed to visa facilitation policies and optimized travel supply structures. Li Ning, deputy captain of the second squad at the Beijing Border Inspection General Station, confirmed the expected volume. The surge follows a trend of increasing outbound tourism to Europe. The increase is supported by a continuous rise in deep travel to Europe. This movement coincides with the May Day holiday period.
