Opportunities to Attract Chinese Tourism! National Holidays Calendar for China 2025 🗓️🎉"

"The two most relevant dates to attract Chinese tourists are:"

Golden Week (National Day Holiday): Recently celebrated, this marks the beginning of the famous "Golden Week."

Chinese New Year: Although officially lasting seven days, these holidays often extend for 2 or 3 weeks. Many Chinese travelers start their trips up to ten days before the official date or finish a week after. Keep this in mind when designing your travel packages for this market.

Why is it important to consider these dates?
Chinese New Year holidays present a great opportunity to capture clients during the low season, especially those willing to spend more. But be careful: plan your holiday packages in advance, don’t leave these dates for the last minute. During these times, Chinese tourists book well in advance, and if you wait until the last moment, availability will be impossible to find.

Fun Fact:
If the holiday lasts officially a week, why does it often extend to three? The reason is that many people travel long distances to reunite with family. The massive number of people traveling within China during this time makes it the world’s largest annual migration, both in terms of the number of people and its impact on transportation infrastructure, including trains, flights, buses, and other means of transport. Workers are also allowed some flexibility to stagger their vacation periods to avoid overwhelming the infrastructure.

Of course, more and more Chinese people are taking the opportunity to visit other countries, and increasingly, destinations are looking to take advantage of this situation. Don’t get left behind!
