China Border Crossings Hit 15.46 Million During National Day Holiday, Up 6.7%
AI take
The composition of this year's holiday traffic is the real signal: outbound mainland travel grew faster than the overall total, while inbound foreign arrivals leaned heavily on visa-free entry, suggesting easing border policy is doing the work on the inbound side. That mix matters for regional tourism, aviation and duty-free operators, not just border authorities. Whether visa-free arrivals keep outpacing the broader inbound figure is the open question worth watching.
