China's domestic tourism market registered a robust recovery during the Spring Festival holiday thanks to optimized COVID-19 response policies.

Spring Festival, also known as Chinese New Year, lasts seven days and is one of the nation's most important times of year for family reunions and celebrations. This year's holiday ended on Friday.

Figures from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism showed domestic destinations and attractions have received 308 million visits, up 23.1 percent year-on-year and roughly 88.6 percent of the figure from 2019.

Tourism-related revenue saw a year-on-year rise of 30 percent over the seven-day break, with about 375.8 billion yuan ($55.4 billion) generated during the period. This was about 73 percent of 2019's total, the ministry said.

Domestic attractions have had smooth operations under the optimized COVID-19 response policies. The ministry said roughly 74 percent of the nation's A-rated tourism attractions - 10,739 venues - were open to the public during the holiday.
