During the holiday, the international press highlighted the expression “boom” to describe economic activity in China. The Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, for example, stressed the use of humanoid robots in tourist attractions, who performed guides and performed presentations, surprising visitors.

Official data indicates that domestic trips totaled 314 million, an increase of 6.4% over the previous year. Related expenses ascended at 180 billion yuans, a growth of 8%. The emergence of new forms of consumption, such as panoramic flights and radical sport activities, has contributed to revitalize the Chinese market.

Improving the quality of cultural and tourist products, driven by technological innovations, has responded to the growing diversification of demand from the population. The national film industry has also shown signs of strong dynamism since the beginning of the year.

This performance is strongly linked to public policies designed to foster internal demand. In the first quarter of 2025, consumption accounted for 51.7% of the country’s economic growth – an increase of 7.2 percentage points compared to 2024. With the transition to a consumer -centered economic model, the potential of Chinese domestic market has been more widely explored.

The expansion of Chinese consumption also represents an opportunity for the global economy. During the holiday, Chinese tourists visited over 1,800 cities around the world. Dubai International Airport CEO Paul Griffiths said that despite the induced volatility of US tariffs, the presence of Chinese tourists has contributed to stabilizing tourist flow in the Middle East.

At the same time, China has adopted measures such as exemption from visas and improving the tax reimbursement system for foreigners, encouraging receptive tourism. Travel reserves to China during the holiday registered a 173% increase over the same period of the previous year. The change of paradigm of “traveling around China” to “buying in China” illustrates the growing opening of the country abroad.

Despite global commercial tensions, increased consumption during the holiday highlights the resilience of the Chinese economy. Margit Molnar, director of China’s OECD economic policy research office, said structural reforms and investment in new productive forces have sustained long -term economic growth in the country, consolidating its role as one of the major engines of the world economy.

In an international scenario marked by protectionist trends, China has reaffirmed its commitment to multilateral cooperation and the creation of mutual benefit opportunities – an evidenced position, according to international observers, during the occupational day holiday.
