Tongcheng Travel's 2026 National Day snapshot shows extended‑leave planning
lifted demand for domestic long‑haul trips and boosted overnight stays,
autumn‑leaf viewing and county‑level tourism. Urumqi led domestic long‑haul
bookings, Chengdu ranked among top overnight destinations, Altay was the
preferred autumn‑leaf spot, Huidong topped county destinations and smaller
counties such as Lingchuan emerged as breakout county picks. Outbound demand
remained concentrated in visa‑free Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand while
bookings for Iceland and France roughly doubled. Inbound travel and domestic
inbound flight bookings rose sharply as Hong Kong holidaymakers and overseas
arrivals increased. Demand for AI itinerary planning and AI‑guided attractions
surged, indicating faster adoption of smart travel services.
