Tourism-related revenue saw a year-on-year rise of 30 percent over the seven-day break, with about 375.8 billion yuan ($55.4 billion) generated during the period. This was about 73 percent of 2019's total, the ministry said.

Domestic attractions have had smooth operations under the optimized COVID-19 response policies. The ministry said roughly 74 percent of the nation's A-rated tourism attractions - 10,739 venues - were open to the public during the holiday.
