Qunar CEO Chen Gang told the "China New Observation" column of Chinanews.com that since the outbreak of the epidemic, the tourism industry has indeed experienced relatively large damage.
However, tourism will become a very large expenditure that cannot be replaced in the future.
According to experience, once the per capita GDP of a city exceeds 10,000 US dollars, the "I want to see the world" tourism boom will continue for 10 to 20 years.
This has been going on for many years in many new first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
The broader growth is not beyond first-tier cities, nor new first-tier cities, but from 293 prefecture-level cities across China, that is, third to fifth-tier cities, what everyone calls "sinking markets."
