According to tourism platform data, during this year's May Day holiday, non-traditional inbound tourist destinations such as Heilongjiang, Guizhou, Hunan, Xinjiang, and Shanxi saw a remarkable increase in passenger flow, with growth rates exceeding 60%.

The booming holiday economy carries the people's fervent longing for a better life and further demonstrates the solid foundation of China's stable and far-reaching economic development.
