China Outbound Travel 2025

China Outbound Travel 2025. Overall, china is opening up to travel, both inbound and outbound—all types of visas are being issued to foreign visitors, and locals are getting ready to travel abroad. China's outbound tourism sector showed robust signs of recovery in the first half of 2025, buoying global travel retail, hospitality, and luxury brands.

Our analysis looks at trips booked (up to march 31, 2025), for travel during 2025. We expect china’s outbound tourism to continue to regain lost ground in 2025, and that the recovery of outbound tourism outside of greater china will accelerate.
