Domestic travel spending during the 3-day Qingming holidays jumped 6.6% over last year to 61.367 billion yuan ($8.95 billion), suggesting rising consumer confidence.
Total domestic travel spending reached 61.367 billion yuan ($8.95 billion) for the three-day Qingming festival, up 6.6% compared with the same period last year, China's culture and tourism ministry said on Tuesday.
The ministry said a total of 135 million domestic trips were made nationwide during the festival from April 4-6, marking a 6.8% increase year-on-year. Domestic tourism spending per trip, however, dipped 0.19%, according to Reuters calculation.
The world's second largest economy has been pushing for growth of domestic demand and consumption, making it a policy priority in its development roadmap amid mounting global trade pressures and economic headwinds.
