More flexible leave plans during the recently concluded Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays boosted tourism spending in China and overseas. Some travelers extended the seven-day National Day break to as long as 13 days, spurring long-distance trips and visits to county and village destinations. Chinese visits to Canada, South Korea and the Netherlands doubled, while trips to Türkiye and Morocco rose by more than 50 percent year on year.
