China after the opening: massively more flight bookings

Beijing. The Chinese are coming back: for three years the Chinese government had covered up Covid-19, condemned millions of citizens to domestic isolation, demonized the Western world. And now, exactly in this week, China has been opening doors and borders. The first wave is expected for Easter. But travellers have changed. A wrap-up by our China expert Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Georg Arlt, COTRI, and a conversation with Michael Henssler about his perception of the turnaround in China. He has lived in China for 13 years and is the COO Asia and Member of the Board of Kempinski Hotels.
