More bookings, shorter trips: Chinese adjust to higher fuel prices for Labour Day break

Chinese tourists are expected to travel during the five-day Labour Day holiday, with numbers potentially matching or exceeding last year's figures despite higher global fuel prices. Domestic flight bookings have increased by about 8 percent year on year, and domestic package-tour reservations are up approximately 10 percent ahead of the holiday. Travelers are likely to opt for shorter trips to mitigate transport costs.
