Zhang noted that convenient transportation will help stimulate tourism spending, such as dining, accommodation, scenic spot tickets, and cultural tourism-related consumption.

Relevant authorities have forecasted an unprecedented 9 billion passenger trips during this year's chunyun, the world's largest annual migration. This year's chunyun will end on February 22.

Cumulative cross-regional passenger trips exceeded 1 billion as of Sunday since the beginning of chunyun, China Media Group reported on Monday, citing official data.

When it comes to consumption highlights for the upcoming long holidays, Zhang noted that the implementation of the measures boosting consumption is expected to drive demand for gift purchases, adding that popular cultural tourism such as the ice and snow festivals is likely to gain momentum.
