Experience Economy Fuels Yangtze River Delta Tourism Boom Over National Day Holiday

Original: Experience Economy Drives Yangtze River Delta Tourism Boom During China’s 2026 National Day Holiday

China's Yangtze River Delta saw a surge in tourism during the National Day Golden Week holiday, driven by travellers spending on experiences rather than just sightseeing. The region — anchored by Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Nanjing — is reported to be benefiting as visitors pay for immersive activities, cultural events and local dining, a shift often called the experience economy.

Why now: The holiday travel surge highlights how Chinese consumer spending is shifting toward experiences, a trend of interest to tourism and retail businesses.
