SHANGHAI/BEIJING (Bloomberg): Chinese travellers took a record number of domestic trips during the Spring Festival Travel season, Xinhua News Agency reported Saturday.
In the 40-day period from Feb. 2 to March 13, interregional China passenger trips totaled 9.41 billion, up 4.3% from a year earlier, Xinhua reported, citing the Ministry of Transport.
The high-volume passenger flows play in to Beijing’s efforts shift the economy toward consumption‑led growth. Policymakers have made the expansion of domestic demand a top priority for 2026.
Authorities have pledged measures to boost household spending and confidence as China’s economy shifts away from reliance on exports and investment amid a more uncertain global backdrop.
