Analysis. Inbound tourism numbers to China in 2025

Based on the most recent available data and reports, China is not currently experiencing a drop in inbound tourism numbers as of March 6, 2025. Instead, the country has seen a significant increase in inbound tourism in recent years, particularly in 2024, following the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions and the implementation of visa facilitation policies. However, these numbers still have not fully recovered to pre-pandemic levels (i.e., 2019), which might be interpreted as a "drop" relative to that benchmark, depending on the context of the question.
