Chinese are snapping up flights abroad as Beijing drops more travel restrictions

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Chinese are snapping up flights abroad as Beijing drops more travel restrictions

Post by phuketrichard »

as said in , "look out here they come" thread

Thailand will get way more Chinese over new years, ( begins Jan 21st) than anywhere else and the country is NOT ready for this!!

Chinese are rushing to book international trips as Beijing lifts restrictions on re-entering the country from abroad.
Minutes after authorities this week announced they would end quarantine and testing requirements for inbound passengers, the country’s top travel sites were flooded with searches and bookings for overseas flights.

The scramble for the exits comes as China earlier this month lifted domestic COVID restrictions, causing a massive wave of infections across the country, which had been nearly virus-free for much of the pandemic due to rigid control measures.

Searches on major online travel platform Qunar reportedly leapt by nearly 700% on Monday in the minutes after the loosening of return requirements. Bookings on the main platform run by Trip.com TCOM, +4.32%, which owns Qunar, reportedly jumped more than 300% on Tuesday from the day before.
Most travelers seem bound for foreign locations within the region. Top destinations include Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, according to Trip.com data.
Cambodia noticeably absent from the list... :stir:

At present, in response to the rampant telecommunication fraud and kidnapping crimes in Cambodia, airports in China only allow citizens with job invitations and intermarriages with Cambodians to go there.
