In China, more than 600 million people engaged in domestic tourism during the eight-day National Day holiday until yesterday. Although it is temporary, as consumption, which has been slow so far, reactivates with tourism, expectations of an economic recovery are also increasing. Get connected by phone to Beijing, China. Correspondent Sungwoong Kang! If more than 600 million people were tourism, have all worries about Corona 19 disappeared? The worries have not completely disappeared, but daily life is largely on the mend, as evidenced by the number of travelers on this National Day. Chinese health officials announced that no confirmed cases of corona19 have been published for 54 consecutive days from Aug. 16 to yesterday. However, there are still cases where most people wear masks and when entering and leaving large buildings, the temperature must be taken and the accommodation of foreigners limited. In this situation, China was an 8-day national holiday from the 1st to yesterday, and during this period, 639 million people traveled to China. This is 79% compared to the same period last year. Some people are still reluctant to go outside due to infection problems, and some have banned students from traveling to school. If there were no travel restrictions for students, I think more people could have traveled as a family. Since overseas travel is still practically blocked, there seems to be an aspect that the demand for travel that cannot go abroad is more concentrated in China. The increase in the number of domestic tourists can be considered a sign of economic normalization, but does it really seem like that? Although it has not fully normalized, it shows a strong recovery trend after the National Day holiday. The Xinhua News Agency reported that during the Christmas season, China’s tourism revenue increased to 4.665 billion yuan and about 79 trillion won in Korean money, up 69.9% last year. In particular, the annual holiday sales of major retailers and catering companies totaled 1.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.9% over last year. Mainland China’s movie ticket revenue also reached 3.69 billion yuan from 1-7, setting a record for the second time, Chinese media reported. Hubei province, which was hit the hardest by Corona 19, also visited 52 million lovers this Christmas season, with 82.7% of tourists and 72.3% of tourism revenue compared to the year. previous. The Global Times, an observer media outlet, interpreted the so-called “retaliatory consumption”, which had been delayed thus far, as a result of immediate buying, as a strong sign of economic recovery. In addition, it was assessed that the rapid recovery trend in the tourism sector is greatly stimulating consumption in general. China’s growth rate fell to negative 6.8% in the first quarter and then recovered to 3.2% in the second quarter, but the growth rate in the third quarter, which will be announced the next week, it will rise to the 5% level.
