The first cohort of Chinese travelers were mainly made up of the post-90's generation, accounting for over 57 percent of the total, a report by travel review website Mafengwo revealed.
It also seems that women were more likely to make a trip abroad, making up 59.8 percent of outbound Chinese travelers, according to the report.
Due to safety concerns and other uncertainties, more backpackers who would previously travel alone now tend to travel with others, with 77.7% of outbound tourists traveling with friends and family in the post-COVID era.
More than 40 percent of Chinese travelers were from major metropolises such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, while 57.4 percent spent more than one week in outbound destinations, with 24.6 percent over 15 days.
