Beijing Daxing International Airport is anticipated to accommodate over 6,400 flights and more than 1.03 million passengers during the 2024 National Day holiday in China, as reported by officials in Daxing District.
Popular domestic destinations for passengers traveling from PKX include Chengdu, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, while international travelers primarily head to locations in East and Southeast Asia, such as Tokyo and Singapore.
The airport expects peak activity on October 1 and 7, with more than 1,000 flights and over 160,000 passengers expected on those days. Outbound traffic is expected to peak on September 29, while inbound traffic will see its highest volume on October 6 and 7.
To enhance the experience for foreign visitors to China, PKX has been improving the payment services available. The Beijing Pass card system is now operational at the airport, allowing users to conveniently purchase subway and bus tickets.
The culture and tourism departments are actively promoting the integration of tourism with various sectors, including culture, sports, commerce, and agriculture. This initiative has led to the launch of a range of diverse, personalized, and high-quality tourism products.
Forecasts suggest that during the first three quarters of the year, the number of domestic tourists will reach 4.29 billion, with total tourism expenditure anticipated to hit 4.32 trillion yuan, marking year-on-year increases of 16.8 percent and 17.1 percent, respectively. These figures are nearing the peak levels observed in 2019. Additionally, inbound tourism is expected to reach 95 million during the same period, reflecting a significant year-on-year increase of 55.4 percent, thus recovering 93.4 percent of the traffic seen in the same timeframe in 2019.
This surge in tourism is not only enhancing people's experiences but also boosting market confidence and stimulating growth in consumption across the transportation, accommodation, catering, and retail sectors.
