The 9-day 2026 Spring Festival holiday, coupled with visa-free policies, has spurred a robust cross-border tourism boom in China. Chinese young people lead the outbound travel surge, with bookings for long-haul destinations surging sharply. Inbound tourism also witnesses a boom: the National Immigration Administration reports a 35.8%year-over-year rise in visa-free foreign arrivals, with more foreigners traveling to China to experience the Spring Festival. Chinese New Year’s cultural charm is gaining growing global appeal, with diverse tourism products offering immersive cultural experiences.
