China’s largest online travel platform, Trip.com Group, said it expects the country’s travel figures during the May Day holiday to possibly double the 43 million trips made during April’s Qingming festival.

The company’s 2020 May Day Tourism Trends Report, released on April 23, states the combination of easing of restrictions with the five-day holiday marks “a significant milestone for recovery of the tourism industry.”

Trip.com estimates that over 80 million trips will be made. China’s May Day holiday weekend takes place from May 1 to May 5.

Car rental up: Trip.com said that car rentals have been identified as a popular mode of transport with reservations “reaching 70% of the same figure last year” due to “cleanliness and freedom of car travel.” It added that young travelers have been the “driving force” behind the increased planned travel, compromising 57% of all bookings during the period.

According to Trip.com the top travel destinations during the May Day holiday are projected to include Shanghai, Hangzhou and the seaside city of Sanya.

Tourist hot spots reopening: Over the past week, local city governments across China announced the reopening of tourist attractions in preparation for the May Day holiday. The Forbidden Palace and National Museum of China in Beijing both announced they will reopen on May 1, while Shanghai’s Culture and Tourism Administration announced on Tuesday that 84 major tourist attractions have been reopened, according to state-run Xinhua News Agency.
