Travelers at the Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China, February 1, 2024. /CFP
China is expected to experience a surge in inbound and outbound trips during the upcoming Spring Festival holiday, returning to the pre-pandemic levels in 2019, the National Immigration Administration (NIA) said on Sunday.
It is estimated that the Chinese mainland will see a daily average of 1.8 million inbound and outbound passenger trips during the holiday period from February 10 to 17 this year, an increase of approximately 3.3 times compared with last year, according to the NIA.
The NIA estimates that the peak of passenger flows at major international airport ports will occur between February 8 and 11, as well as February 16 and 17, while the land ports adjacent to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Macao Special Administrative Region are expected to peak from February 11 to 15.
To facilitate efficient entries and exits during the holiday, border inspection agencies have been instructed to enhance the monitoring of passenger flows and release relevant information in a timely manner for travelers' reference.
Sufficient personnel are deployed to ensure that Chinese citizens pass through customs queues in no more than 30 minutes, added the NIA.
Additionally, border inspection agencies are asked to coordinate with relevant units and local departments to manage traveler diversion, extend customs clearance hours, and provide traffic support during peak hours.
