Technology changing travel habits for millions of Chinese...

Phew – you can almost sense the relief on the mainland after China’s ‘Golden Weekend’ officially ended on Sunday.

Over the eight-day-long holiday China enjoyed a tourism boom with an incredible 705 million tourists traveling. That means one in 10 people in the world were on the move over the past week.

Most of the travel was within the country. The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA) says the travelers spent some 583.6 billion yuan (US$88 billion).

And about 6 million people travelled abroad – to 1,155 cities in 88 countries, up nearly 30%, the CNTA said.

The number of mainland Chinese who went overseas was equivalent to the entire population leaving Miami in United States, or Berlin in Germany. Full story...
