More Chinese tourists opted to travel to Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries during the three-day May Day holiday that started on May 1.
According to the National Tourism Administration, tours to Japan and South Korea surged by 50 percent from last year, thanks to favorable exchange rates and relaxed visa policies.
Almost 30 percent of all outbound holidaymakers travelled to Europe, a surge from the previous year, with Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland the favorite destinations.
However, Hong Kong, a previously hot destination, suffered a setback this year with average hotel room tariffs down 20 percent during the past three days.
China has been the world's largest outbound tourism market since 2012. The number of Chinese tourists traveling abroad last year increased by 20 percent year on year to 109 million, almost 13 times the level in 1998.
