After restrictions continue to ease, China&#8217;s outbound travel nearly reached 49% of its 2019 figures after the 21 to 28-week milestone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Japan recovered to around 27% of the previous year&#8217;s numbers during the equivalent period in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Q3 2023, among the top 10 most resilient destinations for China outbound travel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stands out by claiming the top spot with an impressive 6% growth compared to the levels seen in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe United Arab Emirates (UAE) is an approved group tour destination. It maintains a robust relationship with China by actively participating in the &#8216;One Belt One Road&#8217; initiative. In the context of post-pandemic recovery, Chinese airlines have played a pivotal role by significantly restoring flight capacity to the UAE, with seat availability almost matching the levels observed before the pandemic,\u201d says ForwardKeys\u2019 China Market Analyst Nan Dai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the UAE extends the convenience of visa-on-arrival options for Chinese travellers, a feature of considerable value, particularly given the extended visa application process during the ongoing pandemic. These factors collectively reinforce the UAE&#8217;s appeal as a resilient and accommodating destination for Chinese tourists, offering a seamless and accessible travel experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChinese travellers prefer Southeast Asia as a favoured destination region, primarily due to its increased accessibility through numerous flights and relatively relaxed visa restrictions\u201d, adds Dai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK and Australia are emerging as prominent long-haul markets, showcasing notable recovery trends. This resurgence can be attributed to a substantial rise in bookings from international students who typically plan their trips to return to school in August and September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Source: ForwardKeys)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE, 10 August 2023: Chinese tourism recovery is still in progress, but it is advancing swiftly compared to neighbouring Japan, according to the latest air ticketing data by ForwardKeys.
