“In China, domestic tourism has regained momentum during the eight-day holiday due to the national holiday and mid-autumn holidays, giving the country economy a boost,” the Xinhua Chinese news agency said on Monday, referring to CNN’s analysis.

The national holiday on October 1 this year coincided with a moving date autumn break, so the typically one-week fall break has been extended to eight days this year. China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism said that during this time, revenue from tourism reached 466.56 billion yuan (69.7 billion USD), up 69.9 percent from the same period last year. The country’s tourist attractions received a total of 637 million visitors during the holidays, which is 79 percent of last year’s number of visits. (MTI)
