China's domestic tourism experienced remarkable growth in the number of trips and revenues in 2024, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism said on Wednesday.

Figures from the ministry show that in 2024, domestic tourism spots received about 5.62 billion visits, up 14.8 percent year-on-year. Of these visits, about 4.37 billion were made by urban residents and around 1.25 billion by people living in the countryside.

The ministry said last year's tourism expenses totaled about 5.75 trillion yuan ($790 billion), growing by 17.1 percent of 840 billion yuan from 2023.
