The pandemic is having a profound impact on the world, and is still affecting many parts of the world. It is unlikely that the global tourism industry will recover any time soon. It is likely to take at least two to three years for the global tourism industry to recover. Therefore, as a traditional tourist destination, a country must take appropriate measures to deal with the global helath crisis. It is important to consider new measures to encourage potential outbound tourists to meet their needs. However, the domestic tourism industry is keen on domestic tourism and needs to improve the service and marketing system to attract more tourists, especially potential foreign tourists, to accelerate the recovery of the tourism industry. The domestic tourism market has recovered. The domestic tourism industry can seize the opportunity of China's economic recovery and further accelerate growth while strictly preventing and controlling the epidemic. The nature of tourism has changed. Incraesing number of people are prefering short-distance travel rather than long-distance travel when they are on vacation, as they seem to be more concerned about prevention and control measures as well as safety and emergency plans.

To give full play to the potential of domestic tourism, more domestic tourism data and research are needed. Although the focus of government and academic research is on international tourists, there is a need to better understand many parts of the country’s tourism market. The pandemic provides an opportunity to better understand the differences between the travel behavior, consumption habits, and preferences of international & domestic tourists.
However, surge in number of crime rates, such as kidnaping, pickpocket, and robbery, has led to instability in various destinations, which is negatively imapcting the growth of the domestic tourism market.
