According to data from China's Immigration Bureau, after two months of easing anti-epidemic measures and gradually reopening to the world, China has seen nearly 40 million entries and exits, a 112 percent increase compared to the same period last year. More than 3.36 million passports have been issued to Chinese citizens, nearly 13 times more than two months prior.
The global tourism industry is witnessing a rapid recovery with a large influx of tourists to China.
In addition, mainland China also issued nearly 12.7 million visas to its citizens traveling to Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan (China), an increase of over 837 percent.
The US, Japan, and South Korea have lifted or eased disease control measures for Chinese tourists, leading to many predictions that the number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad will increase significantly in the near future. To date, the epidemic situation in China has been largely brought under control, and few people mention COVID-19.
