(MT Newswires) -- Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com, points out that the domestic travel segment in China has surpassed 2019 levels by more than 50%. Demand for overseas travel has also exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Destinations such as Thailand and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are benefiting from their openness, attracting two to three times as many Chinese visitors thanks to visa exemption and increased air links. Trip.com is also enjoying success in the luxury sector, with holidays selling out in seconds despite costing up to USD 200,000. Despite rising travel costs, the United States remains one of the most popular destinations, retaining its place in the top three.
