During the 2026 Spring Festival, China's tourism industry experienced one of its most prosperous, orderly, inclusive, and shared "longest Spring Festival holiday ever."

Leveraging its position as the largest source of tourist outbound travel in the nation, the expo brings together global high-quality tourist destinations, service providers, and suppliers, and has developed over the years into one of the most international and successful comprehensive international tourism exhibitions in China.
