China’s National Day Holiday Sees 826 Million Domestic Trips

The gap between trip growth and spending growth matters more than the headline totals: volumes are recovering faster than per-trip outlays, a pattern consistent with value-conscious travel. The comparable-basis framing is also notable, since it signals the data center is trying to strip out calendar distortions rather than lean on raw holiday-to-holiday figures. Whether spending keeps trailing trip counts is the open question for consumption readings into the next holiday period.
