Summer heat inspires traveling during recent holiday

In the just completed Dragon Boat holiday, hot weather not only sizzled the land, but also ignited people's passion for traveling.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism said that the three-day holiday - from Thursday to Saturday - saw 106 million domestic trips made, up 32.3 percent year-on-year.

The number outperforms the same period from 2019, the time yet to be hit by the COVID-19, meaning it has restored to 112.8 percent of the same period in 2019, according to the ministry.

Also, the tourism market saw an increased revenue generated by the rising travels during the holiday.
