China s tourism market is expected to see a very strong recovery during the upcoming May Day holiday after being hit by the novel coronavirus pandemic, industry insiders said.
This year s May Day vacation lasts longer than usual, extending from the conventional three days to five days, from May 1 to May 5.
People s growing demand for travel even caused ticket reservation platforms－both the official one and those supported by online travel agencies－to break down for a short period when train tickets for April 30, a day before the start of the May Day holiday, started to sell at noon on Friday.
